Affect of Mutations

Question 1

What are the 3 causes of mutations?

Answer 1

no change to amino acid sequence
change to a single amino acid
change to sequence of many amino acids

Question 2

What is the affect of no change to amino acid sequence?

Answer 2

amino acids are coded by more than one triplet

DNA is gegenerate

Question 3

What is the affect of a change to a single amino aicd?

Answer 3

changes one DNA triplet
changes the translation of one amino aicd
changes the primary structure of the protein, changes internal bonds, then changes terertiary structure of protein

Question 4

What is the effect of the change to sequence of many amino aicds?

Answer 4

frame shift changes the sequence of all the following DNA triplets

changes all the following amino aicds in sequence
change the primary structure
changes to the hydrogen bonding
changes to the tertiary structure
