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
