Genetics Project
Assignment 2 Part 3

Mutations and Your Protein

Mutations

  • 4 mutations need to be made to your DNA
  • Example:
  • DNA sequence: AAA TTT CCC GAG
  • RNA sequence: UUU AAA GGG CUC
  • Protein: Amino acid change reflects the codon change from Leu to Asp
  • Explain in words the mutation and result
  • Hint: You can copy and paste you DNA and RNA sequences from part 2 and then highlight the mutations.
  • You can also show all four mutations in one sequence and then refer to the different colors etc in your written explanation

Mutation 1- Nonsense

  • Add sequence

Mutation 1- Nonsense

  • Explanation the type of mutation demonstrated and the outcome for the final protein
  • Provide a possible source or cause of this type of mutation

Mutation 2- Frameshift

  • Add sequence

Mutation 2- Frameshift

  • Explanation the type of mutation demonstrated and the outcome for the final protein
  • Provide a possible source or cause of this type of mutation

Mutation 3- Point Mutation

  • Add sequence

Mutation 3 - Point Mutation

  • Explanation the type of mutation demonstrated and the outcome for the final protein
  • Provide a possible source or cause of this type of mutation

Mutation 4 - Insertion

  • Add sequence

Mutation 4 - Insertion

  • Explanation the type of mutation demonstrated and the outcome for the final protein
  • Provide a possible source or cause of this type of mutation
