Identify a single base pair change in the wildtype sequence that would lead to an early stop (nonsense mutation). Which nucleotide would you change (choose arrow 1-5)? What nucleotide would you change it to?

A particular protein sequence has the normal amino acid sequence of arginine-lysine-serine. A point mutation occurs in the template (=coding) strand of the DNA and the sequence changes to glutamine-lysine-serine. Use the genetic code below to determine which nucleotide in the template strand of DNA experienced the point mutation, and which base was changed.

a. After a week, you have bacteria growing on your (+) plates, but none of these bacteria glow! So you decided to sequence the gene to look for a mutation, or a change in the DNA sequence. The amino acid sequence of the mutated gene is tyrosine-phenylalanine-isoleucine. Compare this to the normal sequence that you determined in question 3 above. Identify the changed amino acid. Which codon caused this change? Explain. (2 pts) b. If we could somehow repair this mutated DNA, which of the following changes would result in the normal, functional amino acid sequence? Circle your answer and explain your choice. (3 pts) ATG AAA TAT ATT AAC TAT ATG GAA TAA ATC AAC TAG
