Answer:
a) <em>silent mutation (</em>Transition mutation )
b) <em>nonsense mutation. (</em>Transversion mutation)
c) frame-shift mutation ( insertion mutation )
d) missense mutation ( transversion mutation )
Explanation:
<u>For 5' ATG CTA AAA ATC TTC</u>
The WT sequence ; M L I K F
<u>a) For 5' ATG CTA AAG ATC TTC</u>
The Mutated sequence : M L K I F
The mutation here is a <em>silent mutation </em>i.e. Transition mutation takes places at the 9th position of the nucleotide sequence
<u>b) For . 5' ATG CTA TAA ATC TTC</u>
The Mutated sequence ; M L STOP
The mutation here is a <em>nonsense mutation. </em>that is a Transversion mutation as well
<u>c) For 5' ATG CTA AAA AAT CTT </u>
The mutated sequence is MLKNL
The mutation here is a frame-shift mutation ( i.e. also insertion mutation
<u>d) For 5' ATG CGA AAA ATC TTC</u>
The mutated sequence is MRKIF
The mutation here is a missense mutation ( i.e. also transversion mutation )
