Transcribe and translate the following sequence of DNA TTAAC

Transcribe and translate the following sequence of DNA: TTAACGCCA. There is a mutation that resulted in AAA being inserted after G. Predict how this mutation would impact the product of translation.

Solution

Answer:

DNA= TTAACGCCA

mRNA = AAUUGCGGU

Peptide = Asp-Cys-Gly

Mutated DNA = TTAACGAAA

Mutated mRNA = AAUUGCUUU

Mutated Peptide = Asp-Cys-Phe
