The answer is <span>a frameshift deletion at the beginning of the gene.

The frameshift deletion means that due to the deletion, the reading frame will be changed. Because of this, changed mRNA will be synthesized and translated into altered protein. It is known that codon is a triplet (a set of three nucleotides), that code for certain amino acid. The earlier in the sequence the deletion occurs, the protein will be more severely affected.
For example, if codons on RNA are THE BIG BAD DOG and the frameshift deletion happens on the first triplet (earlier in the sequence), the changed sequence will be  TEB IGB ADD OG. If </span>the frameshift deletion happens on the third triplet (later in the sequence), <span>the changed sequence will be THE BIG ADD OG.</span> This way, if the<span> frameshift deletion occurs at the beginning of the gene,</span> the more codons will be changed and in turn, they will code different amino acids.

A different DNA ladder from NEB (Cat #N3200L) comes as 500 uL of a 1000 ug/mL solution and is not pre-mixed with the 6 X DNA loa
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4 ul Loading Buffer + 19.70 ul dH2O + 0.30 ul DNA Ladder

Load 12 ul on the gel.

Explanation:

DNA Ladder concentration = 1000 ug/ml

1000 ug DNA in 1 ml DNA Ladder solution →    150 ng DNA = 0.15 ug DNA in..... 0.00015 ml = 0.15 ul DNA Ladder solution

6x DNA Loading Buffer → it has to be diluted by an equal volume 6 times (1 ul LB + 1 ul distilled H2O)

An appropriate volume to load on an average agarose gel is 12 ul, so:

2 ul Loading Buffer + 9.85 ul dH2O + 0.15 ul DNA Ladder = 12 ul

But since 0.15 ul is a very small volume and mistakes could be made while measuring it, let's make double:

4 ul Loading Buffer + 19.70 ul dH2O + 0.30 ul DNA Ladder = 24 ul

And load half of that solution (12 ul) on the gel.
