Question

The adenine of the start codon is located at the +1 position. Use the DNA Mutations Interactive to determine which statements describe missense mutations. a substitution of G to U at position +13 in the sense strand a transition at position +12 in the antisense strand a transversion of C in the sense strand of the histidine codon a G nucleotide is inserted after position +1 in the antisense strand a deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand an insertion of A between positions +7 and +8 on the sense s

Answer 1

Answer:

Question contains 6 statements.

1. a substitution of G to U at position +13 in the sense strand

2. a transition at position +12 in the antisense strand

3. a transversion of C in the sense strand of the histidine codon

4. a G nucleotide is inserted after position +1 in the antisense strand

5. a deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand

6. an insertion of A between positions +7 and +8 on the sense stands

Among these only 2 statements are correct.

Below are the correct statements.

Explanation:

2. a transition at position +12 in the antisense strand

5. a deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand
