Document Summary

Biology 102 first midterm spring 2010. Your signature below certifies that you have complied with the code of academic. Integrity of the university of pennsylvania in taking this exam. Check the name of your lab instructor and write in your lab section: ____ acong xu: do not open your exam until you are told to do so, this is a closed book exam. You will have 50 minutes to complete the exam: make sure you have a complete exam (10 pages, 35 questions), you must use a pen to complete this exam. Do not use red ink, pencil or white-out on the exam: please be sure to budget your time so that you can complete the entire exam, including both multiple choice and short answer questions. For multiple choice questions, circle the letter of the single best answer. Those producing fewer or more than this have reduced fitness.

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:
Provide the mutation rule you are following.
Original A. Acids
Original mRNA
Mutated mRNA
Mutated A. Acids
8. Nonsense Mutation example:
Provide the mutation rule you are following.
Original A. Acids
Original mRNA
Mutated mRNA
Mutated A. Acids
9. Silent Mutation example:
Provide the mutation rule you are following.
Original A. Acids
Original mRNA
Mutated mRNA
Mutated A. Acids
Post Lab Questions
10. From the mutations you have explored, which one is the least severe. Explain your answer.
11. From the mutations you have explored, which one is the most severe. Why?
12. Aside from silent mutations which have no effect on amino acid sequence, are all mutations bad? Explain your answer.
