Which of the following mutations will LEAST likely lead to a non-functional protein product of a 7-exon gene in a eukaryotic cell? A point mutation that prevents the recognition of the splice junction between exon 1 and 2 A two base pair deletion exon 6 A nonsense mutation in exon 3 A three base pair deletion in exon 2 A one base pair deletion in exon 4

Which small-scale mutation would be most likely to have a catastrophic effect on functioning of a protein? deletion of three nucleotides (or bases) near the start of the coding sequence but before the initiator codon, AUG a nucleotide insertion within the first intron a base substitution near the end of the coding sequence. a nucleotide deletion within the first exon Question 27 (1 point) Here is a segment of an mRNA (in bold capitals starting with nucleotide 1) and its corresponding protein segment above The original DNA experiences a mutation, such that the resulting mRNA has an A instead of G at position 5. At the protein level, what kind of mutation is this? Met Gly Val Lys Thr Leu Ser 5' A U G G G C G U U A A G A C A U U A A G C U G A U C 3'
Which of the following mutational changes would you predict to be the most deleterious to gene function? Explain your answers. 1. Insertion of a single nucleotide near the end of the coding sequence. 2. $\quad$ Removal of a single nucleotide near the beginning of the coding sequence. 3.Deletion of three consecutive nucleotides in the middle of the coding sequence. 4.Substitution of one nucleotide for another in the middle of the coding sequence.
