Question 1

1.

A short mRNA sequence is show below. Determine the DNA sequence from which this mRNA sequence was transcribed.

Question 2

2.

Determine the amino acid sequence that is coded for the by mRNA sequence

Question 3

3.

A mutation in the mRNA sequence changes the 6th base (read left to right) to cytosine (C). Determine the new mRNA sequence with the mutation.

Question 4

4.

Determine the first four amino acids for number 3 (the mRNA sequence with the subsitution mutation)

Question 5

5.

A mutation in the mRNA sequence DELETES the 6th base. Determine what the new mRNA sequence is.

Question 6

6.

Determine the first four amino acids for the mutated mRNA strand in number 5.

Question 7

7.

The original mRNA sequence codes for the amino acid chain: Met-Ser-Asp-Trp. Looking back at the mutations, the subsitution (Met-Ser-Asp-Trp) and the deletion (Met-Ser-Ile-Gly), which mutation would lead to a change in the organism's physical appearance. Explain.
