Mutation Problems

Create a complementary strand to the following DNA strand:

Parent strand - TAC AAA TAT CGG TTT CCG CAA TCG ATA AGG GGG GCA For the gene we are studying here, this original parent strand will be considered the template strand.

What type of strand did you just create? (hint - this is a vocab word)

Transcribe the template strand from above to create the mRNA.

Translate the mRNA in your answer above into a protein sequence. (you may use the abbreviation for each AA )

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 type of mutation is this? Choose the best answer

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