In this DNA sequence: 5'-TCGTATAATGTGAGACATCCCTATTAGCGCCATCTACATGTTACTTGCC-3'
a. Underline the TATA box.
b. Underline the initiation codon.
c. What would the third amino acid be if a cytosine were inserted right after the initiation codon?
Please provide explanation and not just correct answers.
a. Underline the TATA box. (TATAAT is the sequence of TATA box, so the answer is )
5'-TCGTATAATGTGAGACATCCCTATTAGCGCCAATGTTACTTGCC-3'
b. Underline the initiation codon.(The codon which codes for methionine is the strting codon. So, the DNA seq is TAC. So the answer is )
5'-TCGTATAATGTGAGACATCCCTATTAGCGCCATCTACATGTTACTTGCC-3'
c. What would the third amino acid be if a cytosine were inserted right after the initiation codon?
Please provide explanation and not just correct answers. (These type of mutations is called as frameshift muation, so the answer is )
Before insertion: TAC ATG TTA - MET - TYR - ASN
AFTER INSERTION : TAC CAT GTT - MET - VAL -GLN
