Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
From the above mentioned table which patient have frameshift mutation.
Concept introduction:
A mutation is biological process which is defined as the permanent alteration in the
(b)
To determine:
From the above mentioned table how many amino acids are missing from patient E.
Concept introduction:
A mutation is biological process which is defined as the permanent alteration in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Mutation is unpredictable change that alters the protein function by changing shape of amino acid. It occurs naturally within the cell or by certain environmental factors such as ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
(c)
To determine:
Which patient will produce a shortened protein.
