Mutations
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What changes in the protein when the a mutation occurs outside of the encoded part of mRNA? | Nothing changes, because the mutation is not being coded. |
| What amino acid sequence is present in the DNA sequence, GTACAGAGTAATCAAA? | His Val Ser Leu Val |
| What are some mutagens that could cause DNA to change? | BPA, Abren, and Butonate |
| Which is usually disrupts encoded proteins: frameshift mutations or point mutations? | Frameshift mutations |
| What are some ways DNA mutations can effect proteins? | If there is a substitute frameshift mutation, there may be no start codon or stop codon. |
| What are some factors that can cause genetic mutations? | Mutagens (BPA, Abren, Butonate), if your parents consumed/were around any mutagens that could affect you during pregnancy, etc. |
