A single mutation has occurred in the following DNA sequence.
5' ATG TTC CAG CCA 3' wild-type (normal) sequence
5' ATG TTC TAG CCA 3' mutant sequence
a) Identify and classify the mutation according to its molecular structure (i.e., insertion, deletion base substitution (transversion), or base substitution (transition)). Briefly explain why you selected this classification.
b) Identify and classify the mutation according to its functional effects (i.e., frameshift, missense, nonsense, or silent). Briefly explain why you selected this classification.
Answer:
(a)The mutation give here is base substitution. We can call this
mutation as base substitution because, the base Cytosine (C) in
wild DNA is replaced (substituted) with Thymine (T). Base
substitutions are classified into two viz. Transition and
transversion. Transition is referred to the substitution of a
purine by some other purine OR the substitution of a pyrimidine by
some other pyrimidine. Here, a pyrimidine (Cytosine) is replaced by
another pyrimidine (Thymine), hence, it is in fact a transition
type of base substitution.
(Note:- Deletion is a kind of mutation in which a base is removed
without adding another. Insertion is the addition of a base without
the removal of any. Transversion is the type of base substitution
involving the substitution of a purine by a pyrimidine or a
pyrimidine is substituted by a purine.)
(b) The given mutation is a missense mutation. This is because,
the codon in mRNA produced from the mutated DNA segment will code
for a different amino acid compared to the wild DNA.
The base C is replaced by the base T in DNA. This will cause the
base G to be changed to A in the mRNA. To analyse the amino acid,
we need to look for the triplet codon that has undergone change.
The codon GUC in wild mRNA will be converted to AUC in the mRNA
from the mutated DNA. This will cause a change in amino acid from
Valine (GUC) to Isoleucine (AUC). Hence, the mutation is of
missense type.
(Note:- Nonsense mutation is the one in which the mutation cause a
change from an amino acid coding codon to a stop codon. Silent
mutations are those in which changes in the base pairs don’t cause
a change in the amino acid sequence, thus keeping the protein chain
unaltered. Frame shift mutations are caused by either addition or
removal of some number of bases which is not divisible by 3 (for
example, removal or addition of 1,2,4,5,7 etc. Bases)

Mutations Worksheet-Dcletlon, Inserilon & SubstitutionThere are several types of mutations:> DELETION (a base is lost/deleted)> INSERTION (an extra base is added/inserted)- Deletion\& insertion may cause what's called a FRAMESHIFT mutation, meaning the reading "frame"changes, thus changing the amino acid sequence from this point forward > SUBSTITUTION (one base is substituted for another)- If a substitution changes the amino acid, it's called a MISSENSE mutation- If a substitution does not change the amino add, it's called a SILENT mutation- If a...
