In mutant 1, Non-conserved mis-sense mutation has occurred, i.e. Asparagine (coded by AAU/AAC) in the 5th position is replaced by Lysine (coded by AAA/AAG). This is due to traversion mutation of a pyrimidine (T or C) to a purine (A or G).
Non-conserved mis-sense mutations affect the protein function. In this case, Asn is replaced by a positively charged Lysine. This extra charge on the protein will have effect on its function.
In mutant 2, Non-sense mutation has occurred. Tryptophan (UGG) is replaced by stop codon (UGA) here resulting in the truncated protein.

Shown below are the amino acid sequences of the wild-type and three mutant forms of a short protein. Each mutation results from a single nucleotide change (transition/transversion / insertion / deletion). Use this information to answer the following questions. Hint: First, reconstruct as much as you can of the wild-type RNA sequence and then reference that sequence when analyzing the mutations. Wild type: met - gin-ala - ser-val - arg - phe Mutant 1: met - gln - pro-ser -...
