Mutation Problems

Transcribe the following DNA:TAC AAA TAT CGG TTT CCG CAA TCG ATA AGG GGG GCA This represents the normal mRNA.

Translate the mRNA in your answer above into a protein sequence. (spell each amino acid correctly and put a dash and no spaces between each).This represents the normal protein.

Compare this new mRNA to the normal mRNA in question #1. How many mistakes were made during transcription?

Translate the mRNA above into a protein sequence. (spell each amino acid correctly and put a dash and no spaces between each).

Were any amino acids changed due to any mistakes? If so, which ones?

What group of mutation is this?

What type of mutation is this?
