Transcribe the following DNA:TAC AAA TAT CGG TTT CCG CAA TCG ATA AGG GGG GCA This represents the normal mRNA.

1

Translate the mRNA in your answer above into a protein sequence. (spell each amino acid correctly and put a dash and no spaces between each).This represents the normal protein.

For Questions #3 - 7
Suppose the bases in the DNA above (TAC AAA TAT CGG TTT CCG CAA TCG ATA AGG GGG GCA) were not transcribed correctly and the mRNA now read:

AUG UUU AUA GCC AAG GGC GUU AGC UAU UCC CCC CGU
1

Compare this new mRNA to the normal mRNA in question #1. How many mistakes were made during transcription?

1

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

1

Were any amino acids changed due to any mistakes? If so, which ones?

1

What group of mutation is this?

1

What type of mutation is this?
