Note from the author:
Remember the types of mutations
Insertion- One EXTRA DNA base
Deletion- Lost a DNA base
Subsitition- One base is different (different letter)
Silent- Change in the DNA that DOES NOT change the amino acid

Question 3
3.

What trait does the amino acid sequence code for?

Look at the reference chart. Match the amino acids sequence in #4 to find the trait.

Question 4
4.

The normal gene A is:
ACC-GGT-TAT and codes for white fur

The mutated gene A is:
ACC-CGT-TAT

There is ONE letter change that is highlighted. What type of mutation is found in gene A?

Question 7
7.

What trait does the amino acid sequence code for?

Look at the reference chart. Match the amino acids sequence in #6 to find the trait.

Question 8
8.

The DNA sequence for normal gene B is:
AGA-CGA-CCG-AAT-TTC and codes for short whiskers

The mutated gene B is:
AGC-GAC-CGA-ATT-TC_

The mutated sequence is MISSING one base (letter). What type of mutation is found in gene B?

Question 11
11.

What trait does the amino acid sequence code for?

Look at the reference chart. Match the amino acids sequence in #10 to find the trait.

Question 12
12.

The DNA sequence for the normal gene C is:
GGA-CGC-CGA-AGT and codes for blue eyes

The mutated gene C is:
GGA-CGA-CGA-AGG

The mutation DID NOT change the amino acid sequence. What type of mutation has occured in gene C?

Question 15
15.

What trait does the amino acid sequence code for?

Look at the reference chart. Match the amino acids sequence in #14 to find the trait.

Question 16
16.

The DNA sequence for gene D is:
GTC-TTC-CTA and codes for small black stripe

The mutated gene D is
GTC-TAT-CCT-A_ _

A base was ADDED. What type of mutation is found in gene D?

Question 18
18.

What amino acid does the normal DNA sequence TAG code for?

Hint:
1. change the TAG into RNA
2. Find the amino acid

Question 19
19.

Will a person with a mutation of TAT be diabetic?

Question 20
20.

What amino acid does the DNA sequence TCT code for?

Question 21
21.

Will the mutation TCT (instead of the normal TAG) cause a person to be diabetic? Explain your answer.
