Because the genetic code is nonoverlapping, a missense mutation (from a single nucleotide change) results in the alteration of ______________, and the resulting protein has ______________.
a) only one codon / at least three amino acid changes
b) three codons / a single amino acid change
c) only one codon / a single amino acid change
d) three codons / three amino acid changes
Homework Answers
c) only one codon / a single amino acid change
Because the genetic code is nonoverlapping, a missense mutation (from a single nucleotide change) results in the alteration of only one codon and the resulting protein have a single amino acid change.
For example, TAC CCC GGG
mRNA- AUG GGG CCC
pROTEIN - MET - GLY- PRO
After mutation TAC CGC GGG
m RNA- AUG CGC CCC
PROTEIN - MET ARG PRO
So in this example, we see that a single nucleotide in DNA i.e4th nucleotide has been changed from C to G and it caused the change in one codon and one amino acid i.e it should have coded for glycine but after mutation, it codes for arginine.

The genetic code is "redundant" because: Question 1 options: Each amino acid is specified by only a single codon Most amino acids are specified by multiple codons Codons are groups of four consecutive DNA bases Each codon can specify multiple amino acids Question 2 (1 point) A mutation in the DNA may not result in change in protein function because: Question 2 options: Many different amino acids share similar chemical properties, so can substitute for one another without altering function...

More than one answer may apply to each answer. a. GC->CG in the protein coding region on a gene. b. GC->TA in a GAA glutamate codon c. Loss of three bases GAA for a glutamate codon d. GC->CG in a tRNA gene e. GC->AT in the ribosome binding site of a mRNA

The genetic code is read in groups of three (3) nucleotides called codons. Some mutations are silent because they have no effect on the phenotype. How is that possible? Since there was a mutation in one of the codons, that gene will not be expressed. o It is not possible, mutations are always expressed and always have an effect The mutation changed the codon but the new codon codes for the same amino acid The ribosome knows there was a...

QUESTION 3 In a "frameshift" mutation O a the mutation is not in DNA. the nucleotide that mutates causes a stop codon to occur instead of the placement of an amino acid. c. addition or deletion of one or two nucleotides causes the codons to be off pattern and therefore the mutation. 4. the nucleotide that mutates causes no change in the amino acid specified.
The gene encoding protein Bog in E. coli has been changed by a point mutation in...
The gene encoding protein Bog in E. coli has been changed by a point mutation in its open reading frame. Originally the gene encoded a 108 amino acid long functioning protein whose amino acid composition favored nonpolar and negatively charged amino acids. After the mutation it encodes a 110 amino acid long non-functioning protein that is now rich in polar uncharged amino acids and positively charged amino acids. Which mutation scenario best explains this observation. A) A frame-shift caused by...
