To use the codon table, follow these directions:

find the first base in the codon along the left hand side of the table
find the second base in the codon along the top of the table and follow it down until you find the box that corresponds to the base on the left hand side you identified in step 1
find the third base in the codon along the right hand side of the box and follow that line over to the box you identified in step 2.  The three-letter abbreviation next to your identified codon is the amino acid that codon translates into.

Compare the mutated DNA sequence to the original. Identify the mutation as either an insertion, deletion, or substitution, and whether it is a frameshift, missense, nonsense, or silent mutation.

Original DNA Sequence: T A C A C C T T G G C G A C G A C T

Mutated DNA Sequence: T A C A T C T T G G C G A C G A C T

insertion

substitution

deletion

Match the following terms with their definitions

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Mutagen		sequence of DNA that codes for a particular protein
Chromosome Mutation		any change in the sequence of DNA that may or may not affect the protein made by that sequence
Frameshift Mutation		Mutation affecting a single gene or base pair within a gene
mutation		mutations that cause major changes to proteins because they "shift" the reading frame of the genetic code
gene		Mutations that affect entire regions of chromosomes, or multiple chromosomes
Point Mutation		Any environmental factor that may cause a mutation

True or false: ALL mutations effect the resulting protein

True

False

Which type of mutation listed below is most likely going to cause a frameshift mutation?

base pair substitution

inversion

Insertion or deletion

What is a mutagen?

inherited mutations

environmental factors that cause mutations

factor that immediately causes death of an organism

cancer-causing agent

How do mutations happen spontaneously without any outside influence?

eating processed food like hot dogs

mistakes made during DNA replication

smoking cigaretters

exposure to UV radiation

find the third base in the codon along the right hand side of the box and follow that line over to the box you identified in step 2.  The three-letter abbreviation next to your identified codon is the amino acid that codon translates into.

Write the sequence of RNA bases that would be transcribed from the sequence of 30 bases below:

Use the space bar to separate your sequence into codons.

ATG TGC GCC AAT GGT CCC ATC GGT AAC TAA

AUG UGC GUU AAU GGU CCC AUC GGU AAC UAA

What would happen if there was a substitution mutation that changed the 5th base in the DNA from a C to a T?

The amino acid CYS would change to the amino acid TYR

There would be no change in the amino acid sequence

Every amino acid after the mutation would be changed
