A mutation causing an addition or a deletion of one base pair resulted in the production of a nonfunctional mutant protein. The sequences of the normal and mutant proteins are given below.
Normal: Met - Leu - Ala - Thr - Gln
Mutant: Met - Leu - Ala - His - Pro - Ile - Glu - Ser - Thr - .....
Was this mutation cause by an insertion or a deletion? Answer 1 Question 6 insertiondeletion
Below, fill in the codons in the coding sequence of the mRNA that is translated into the mutant protein. If more than one codon is possible, just enter a single codon.
NH2 Met Leu Ala His Pro Ile codons 5' AUG UUG Answer 2 Question 6 Answer 3 Question 6 Answer 4 Question 6 Answer 5 Question 6
