Question: Use the codon chart to predict the amino acid sequence produced during translation by the following short hypothetical mRNA sequences. Sequence 1: 5'-AUGGACGAAUAGCCUGA-3' Sequence 2:
Sequence 1:5'-AUGGACGAAUAGCCUGA-3'
Sequence 2:5'-AUGGACGAAUAUGCCUGA-3'
Part A
Sequence 1:5'-AUGGACGAAUAGCCUGA-3'
Sequence 1:5'-AUGGACGAAUAGCCUGA-3'
| met-asp-glu-(stop) |
| met-glu-glu-(stop) |
| met-asp-glu-tyr-ala-(stop) |
| met-glu-asp-tyr-(stop) |
Part B
Sequence 2:5'-AUGGACGAAUAUGCCUGA-3'
Sequence 2:5'-AUGGACGAAUAUGCCUGA-3'
| met-asp-asp-tyr-val-(stop) |
| met-asp-glu-tyr-ala-(stop |
| met-asp-glu-(stop) |
| met-glu-asp-thr-ala-(stop) |
Part C
What type of mutation gave rise to Sequence 2?
Enter your answer as frameshift, nonsense or missense.
