To determine:
Mutation 1: A transition at
a.

Explanation of Solution
Transition mutation is a type of base-substitution mutation in which either a purine base is replaced with different purine base or pyrimidine base is replaced with different pyrimidine base. Due to transition mutation at nucleotide 11, the DNA template formed is
b.
To determine:
Mutation 2: A transition at nucleotide 13 in a given nucleotide sequence of
b.

Explanation of Solution
In transition mutation, a purine base is replaced by different purine base and pyrimidine base is replaced by different pyrimidine base. The transition at 13 nucleotides of DNA sequence results
c.
To determine:
Mutation 3: A one-nucleotide deletion at nucleotide 7 in a given nucleotide sequence of
c.

Explanation of Solution
In deletion mutation, removal of single nucleotide results in a frameshift mutation that changes the reading frame. After deletion of the nucleotide at 7 positions the DNA sequence formed is
d.
To determine:
Mutation 4: A
d.

Explanation of Solution
In transversion mutation a pyrimidine base is replaced with purine base or purine base is replaced with pyrimidine base. After transversion of
e.
To determine:
Mutation 5: An addition of TGG after nucleotide 6 in a given nucleotide sequence of
e.

Explanation of Solution
Addition of nucleotide in a DNA sequence results in a change in codon sequence that codes for different protein. On addition of TCG after 6 nucleotide DNA sequence is
f.
To determine:
Mutation 6: A transition at nucleotide 9 in a given nucleotide sequence of
f.

Explanation of Solution
Transition mutation involves the replacement of a purine with purine or pyrimidine with a pyrimidine. In this transition at nucleotide 9 forms, the DNA sequence is
The mutation causes the change of sequence of nucleotide (one base) in a gene or a chromosome. A change in nucleotide at 11 position results in the coding of amino acid serine. Mutation at nucleotide 13 results in a stop codon. Deletion of the nucleotide at 7 results in the coding of alanine. Transversion of

- What is this?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Please help.
