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:

A transition at position +12 in the antisense strand

A deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand

Explanation:

Given that Adenine of the start codon is located at the +1 position, The correct  statements that  describe missense mutations are

•  A transition at position +12 in the antisense strand
• A deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand

Adenine is a purine nucleobase that is used in the formation of nucleic acids
