To answer: Recognition and restriction of DNA sequence by Hha I. Introduction: Restriction enzymes recognize and cut DNA nucleotide sequences at the specific sites is called restriction site. Most of the restriction sites are palindromic sequences (the sequence can be read both forward or backward). The hundreds of restriction enzymes are classified into two groups based on their types of cuts (sticky or blunt ends) on DNA sequences. Eco RI cuts DNA sequence and both ends have overhanging ssDNA pieces (staggered cut) is called sticky ends. Hind II and Sma I cut dsDNA at the same point and produced blunt ends. In bacteria, restriction enzymes are used for their protection from phages, which are cleaved by restriction enzymes into nonfunctional nucleotide pieces. However, bacterial DNAs are protected by methylation mechanism. Restriction enzymes are mostly denoted by three or more letters which indicates their genus and bacterial sources.

Complete the protein synthesis for the partial DNA sequence for a normal FGFR3 gene (TOP) and mutated FGFR3 gene (BOTTOM). Remember, when filling in mRNA, use capital letters only. When filling in amino acids, use three letters, with the first letter capitalized. If you do not use this format, your answer may be marked wrong.

Determine the effect of the following mutations on the DNA sequence. In each case, the mutation is described after the sequence (REFER TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL DOCUMENT FOR GUIDANCE TO THIS QUESTION). Adenine nucleotide (A shown in red below) was inserted into the DNA sequence at the position indicated by the arrow). Write out the sequence of the mutated DNA and the protein made from it. What is the effect of this mutation on the protein? (For example, how will the mutation affect the length and sequence of the protein? What about the function of the protein?)
