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

What amino acid does the mutated DNA sequence
TAT
code for?
Hint:
1. change the TAT into RNA
2. Find the amino acid
Question 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

Question 20
20.
What amino acid does the DNA sequence
TCT
code for?
Question 21

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.
orange fur
white fur
long whiskers
short whiskers
blue eyes
green eyes
small black stripes
large black stripes
The normal gene A is:
ACC-GGT-TAT and codes for white fur
The mutated gene A is:
ACC-
C
GT-TAT
There is ONE letter change that is highlighted. What type of mutation is found in gene A?
insertion
deletion
subsititution
nonsense
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.
orange fur
white fur
long whiskers

The mutated sequence is MISSING one base (letter). What type of mutation is found in gene B?
deletion
insertion
silent
subsitution
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.
orange fur
white fur
long whiskers
short whiskers
blue eyes

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?
deletion
insertion
silent

green eyes
small black stripes
large black stripes
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?
deletion
insertion
nonsense
silent
Will a person with a mutation of
TAT
be diabetic?
A. No because the same amino acid is made
B. Yes because a differnt amino acid is made
Will the mutation TCT (instead of the normal TAG) cause a person to be diabetic? Explain your answer.
A. No because the same amino acid is made
B. Yes because a differnt amino acid is made
