What are some factors that can cause genetic mutations? | A factor that causes genetic mutations, if there is insertion or deletion (according to a website: Breast-cancer is related) |
What are the different ways that mutations in DNA affect the proteins that the DNA codes for? | The start codon could be absent or there could be a missing nucleotide or there could be a extra nucelotide. |
What changes in the DNA cause point mutations to occur? | Point-mutations occur when the Start Codon is absent. |
What changes in the DNA cause frameshift mutations to occur? | Frameshift mutations happen when there is a Insertion mutation in the DNA. |
What amino acid sequence would be present in a protein that is encoded by the following DNA sequence? GTACAGAGTAATCAAA | |
In Question #7, if the red G was deleted from the DNA, how would that change the encoded amino acid sequence? | |
In Question #7, if the red G was substituted with an A, how would that change the encoded amino acid sequence? | |
In Question #7, if the blue A was substituted with a T, how would that change the encoded amino acid sequence? | |
Which of the mutations in #8-10 would be the most harmful? Why do you say so? Which would be the least harmful? Why do you say so? | |
What are some mutagens that can cause changes in DNA to occur? How might they be avoided or prevented? | Mutagens can cause a change to the nucleotides and they could be avoided by choosing to not choose the artificial way and avoiding any possible infected mutagen product. |
