Document Summary

Transcription factor tells rna polymerase where to bind on promoter region. Silent mutation: change in nucleotide that does not change amino acid specified by codon. Change in genotype but no change in phenotype because you still have the same amino acid sequence and therefore the protein will still fold the same and function the same. Missense mutation: change in nucleotide that changes amino acid specified by codon. Change in primary structure of protein, could change way protein folds and functions. Nonsense mutation: change in nucleotide that results in early stop codon. Protein is smaller than should be,could result in change in function and folding of protein. Frameshift mutation: addition or deletion of a nucleotide.

Part B

Think about the DNA coding sequence of a gene. If an A were swapped for a T, what kind of mutation could it cause and why?

a) It could cause a frameshift nonsense or frameshift missense mutation because it would change the reading frame of the codon triplet.

b) It could cause a silent, missense, or nonsense mutation because those are the types that can be caused by a nucleotide-pair substitution like this one.

c) It could cause a nonsense mutation because the sequence would no longer be the same, so the protein would be shorter and non-functional.

d) It could cause a silent mutation because A and T are complementary to each other so it is not really a substitution mutation.

Part C

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation in the same protein?

a) A substitution missense mutation causes the protein to be shorter and thus non-functional.

b) A frameshift missense will cause the codons to be out of order, but a substitution missense does not change the order of the codons.

c) A frameshift missense mutation will cause an early Stop codon, but a substitution missense might be silent.

d) A substitution missense affects only one codon, but a frameshift missense affects all codons downstream of the frameshift.

Part D

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?

a) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACAGAGUGA-3â

b) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACGUUGGAGUGA-3â

c) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA-3â

d) wild-type	5â-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3â
mutant	5â-AUGCAUGUGACAUUGGAGUGA-3â

Part F

Suppose that the triplet of nucleotides indicated in bold (AGC) spans two codons, that is, CTA and GCC. If the triplet AGC were deleted from this DNA coding sequence, what effect would it have on the resulting protein?

5â-ATGCTAGCCTATCGTAAC-3â

a) The two flanking codons would be altered, but the rest of the amino acid sequence would be the same because there would be no frameshift.

b) The entire amino acid sequence would be altered due to the frameshift.

c) All of the amino acids after the deletion would be altered due to the frameshift.

d) All of the amino acids up to the deletion would be altered due to the frameshift.

1a. which is likely to be more deleterious, a 1bp deletion from an exon in the coding sequence of a gene, or a 3 bp deletion? Explain clearly what all the potential consequences of both deletions could be on the proteins amino acid sequence.

1b. how many different 9-nucleotide mRNA sequences could you make that would produce the peptide tyrosine-leucine-arginine? Assume you are using a cell-free system that does not require a START codon.

1c. imagine you have a single nucleotide substitution (an A has mutated to a G, for example) in an exon of a gene's coding region. It reduces the activity of that gene's protein in your cells to 50% of the usual level of activity. Imagine also that you have a single nucleotide substitution in the same gene's promoter region, and this mutation also reduces the activity of that gene's protein in your cells to 50% of the usual level of activity. Do the 2 mutations reduce the proteins activity level via the same mechanism? Explain your answer.

DNA and Genes Lab Activity

for definitions! Remember to add your last name and first initial to the file name prior to
saving and submitting your completed assignment through Canvas.
Use your textbook, notes and these websites to answer the pre lab questions.

Pre Lab Questions:
1. What is the product of transcription?
2. What is the region of DNA called where transcription begins?
3. What is the product of translation?
4. In your own words define each of the following:
Silent mutation
Missense mutation
Nonsense mutation
Frame shift mutation
5. Where in the cell does translation take place?

Download and print the instructions for reference as you work through the lab. As you work through the lab fill in the table below. Use this information to answer the questions that follow contained in this document.
First read through the mutation guide. Once you close the guide you will see the buttons to begin the simulation. Note, you will be translating the mRNA strand into a protein. As you work through each of the mutations fill in the charts below. You must complete 4 mutations for this lab activity. Itâs good practice working with the codon table .
â Aris labs calls the codon table the âGenetic Code Chartâ. Use the amino acid abbreviation for the protein sequence. For example the amino acid proline is abbreviated as pro.
You have to fill in all the letters AND the resulting amino acid sequence by dragging and dropping before you click the [check] button. Abrieviate STOP as either STP or END.
For each of the three mutations you will complete, fill in the table in this lab document with the original mRNA and amino acid sequence and the mRNA sequence and the resulting amino acid sequence RESULTING FROM the mutation as outlined in the mutation rule.
The various mutations represent missense, nonsense, silent and frame shift mutations. You must complete one of each. The lab will not necessarily present the mutations in this order. You must do the mutation and identify which type it is and make sure you do one of each.
6. Frame Shift Mutation example:
Provide the mutation rule you are following.
Original A. Acids
Original mRNA
Mutated mRNA
Mutated A. Acids
7. Missense Mutation example:
