11. Assuming that there is a mutation such that the new sequence would be:
DNA: TTAGCTAGATAAAACCGGCCCACGTTCTTACTTTT
What would be the effect on the sequences of the mRNA & tRNA & the final protein’s sequence?
mRNA:
transcribe mRNA using the following from the DNA string: T=A, A=U, G & C pair
tRNA:
transcribe tRNA using the following from the mRNA string: A & U pair, G & C pair
Protein:
using the Condon chart and the mRNA strand. What I do with it if there is a stop?
DNA: TTAGCTAGATAAAACCGGCCCACGTTCTTACTT TT.
Based on the given sequence, the mRNA, tRNA anti codons and Amino acid sequences will be as follows:
mRNA codons : AAU CGA UCU AUU UUG GCC GGG UGC AAG AAU GAA AA
tRNA anticodons : UUA GCU AGA UAA AAC CGG CCC ACG UUC UUA CUU UU
Amino acid sequences : Asn - Arg - Ser - Ile - Leu - Ala - Gly - Cys - Lys - Asn - Glu
If a new Stop codon is formed due to mutations in a DNA sequence, it will affect the structure of that protein. Any codons after the stop codon will be ignored during protein synthesis. These types of mutations are called Nonsense mutations.
