SELECT ALL ANSWERS THAT APPLY* C = A and G = T A +T = G+ C AxC = G x T A=T and C = G A-T= G-C A+C = G+ T DNA is made up of deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogen base. DNA is the genetic material that determines the traits of living things and is O O O
Identify the type of mutation and how it would affect the protein made (amino acid) if the following changes occurred in the DNA template strand.DNA Strand: TCT AAC TAT CCC CTA Third codon change from TAT to TAG. Second codon change from AAC to ATC. Nucleotide with adenine (A) base inserted between 14th and 15th nucleotide. Ninth nucleotide changes from T to C. Types of Mutation Changes in the Amino Acid 1. 2. 3. 4.
DNA is known to be the repository of genetic information in each living cell, which its integrity and stability are essential to maintain life. Its trait of not being inert is subjected to assault from the environment, and any resulting damage. if not repaired, will lead to mutation and possible disease. Solve of the following DNA damage problem in the patient below with suitable repair mechanism. Patient with disease xeroderma pigmentosum
Being able to understand the relationship between DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes and proteins, is necessary for any researcher interested in gene therapy. Gene therapy is dedicated to correcting genetic defects by replacing mutated genes with wildtype versions. This can include complete removal and introduction of a working copy of the entire gene (using knock-outs and knock-ins) or removal of only the actual mutated nucleotide. Sickle Cell Disease is an example of a recessive disorder based on a single-point mutation: GAG becomes GTG, which encodes a new amino acid. One would only need to replace a single base to correct the disorder making it very attractive to gene therapy researchers. The mutant sickle cell allele is called HbS (for sickled hemoglobin) while the wt allele is HbA. Pretend that Arcel Kasongo, a masters student from Cambridge, is studying for an oral exam on gene therapy, and has an especial interest in the disorder since he comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo…

Silent mutations that occur in DNA are quite common in living cells and usually involve no effects onphenotype. In not more than 2 pages (using 1.5 line space of Arial or Times New Roman fonts) provideanswers for the following questions? Provide one example of a clinical implication of a “silent mutation” that proven to have an effect onthe phenotype and provide a brief description of its molecular characteristics?
The structure of DNA is not permanent. It changes constantly. Enzymes such as DNA polymerase repair many changes immediately, but many are missed and not repaired. A permanent genetic change is called a mutation. But are all mutations bad? Is there a type of mutation that may provide an advantageous to an organism. Explain how mutations can benefit an organism. Provide an example. Identify the organism and describe the mutation by identifying the location and type of mutation.
Mutations are heritable alterations in the base sequenceof DNA.? TRue or False
which of the following statements accurately describes genetic mutations
An insertion of two nucleotides into a gene results in a frameshift mutation. This statement is: True False
The sequence of subunits in a DNA molecule is more important to its function than the number of these subunits because the shape of the protein is determined by the sequence of amino acids coded by those subunits. Select one: True False
Identify the type of mutation and how it would affect the protein made (amino acid) if the following changes occurred in the DNA antisense strand. First codon change from TAC to TAT. Third codon change from ACG to ACA. Ninth nucleotide changes from G to T. Nucleotide with adenine (A) base inserted between 3rd and 4th nucleotide.
