Chapter 27, Problem 1E
Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind a single nucleotide deletion restoring the function of a protein-coding gene being interrupted by the insertion of a 4-nt sequence.

Concept introduction: Mutation causes some permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence. When the mutation occurs, a single nucleotide in the nucleotide sequence is deleted. This is called point mutation. This leads to irreversible changes and alters the reading frame of the gene.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

A 4-nt insertion is the addition of four nucleotides to the sequence. This means that the addition of one codon and one nucleotide. This addition of a codon shifts the reading frame of the gene by one nucleotide. The proper reading frame is restored by deleting a nucleotide. The reading frame usually constitutes three nucleotides called codons. The deletion of a nucleotide restores the proper reading frame and the 4-nt insertion has one codon and one additional nucleotide. Thus, the single nucleotide deletion restores the function of a protein-coding gene. The gene function cannot be restored if it is as given below:

  • The 4-nt insertion interrupts the codon of a function that determines the amino acid.
  • The 4-nt insertion creates codon amino acid that breaks the structure.
  • The 4-nt insertion introduced the stop codon earlier in the gene.
  • The 1-nt deletion occurs far from the 4-nt insertion.

A long sequence of frame-shifted codons is separated by the insertion and the deletion points, even though the reading frame was restored. Thus, the single nucleotide deletion restores the function of a protein-coding gene interrupted by the insertion of a 4-nt sequence.

I am a Biochemistry student and I am confused on how to analyze FRAP Analysis using Excel Spread Sheets. The following spread sheet has my 0 minute data listed at top and the 4 minute data listed on the bottom.
