The gene x encodes a very short protein Its sequence for cod

The gene x encodes a very short protein. Its sequence for coding region is as the following: ATGATTTGTTAA. What is the amino acid sequence if a T to C mutation occurs? The Sequence becomes ATGATTTGCTAA. F Met-Ile-Cyst f Met-Ile f Met-Ile-Glee f Met-Ile-Ile

Solution

Answer:a. fMet-Ile-Cys

mRNA formed is same as Coding DNA except that T is substituted by U

mRNA =AUG AUU UGC UAA

New protein: fMet-Ile-Cys
