In the example below the DNA sequence is transcribed into mRNA which gets translated into protein DNA sequence mRNA sequence Amino acids Met Leu Leu Val Phe STOP STOP MEANS THAT NO AMINO ACID WILL BE CODED FOR BY UAA AND THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE ENDS HERE 16 In the following exercise you are given the mRNA sequence transcribed from the following DNA sequence TAC ACA ATA CAA TAA GAA GAT AAC CAC CGC ATT Please translate this mRNA sequence into its corresponding amino acid sequence polypeptide chain Remember that proteins are long chains of amino acids Use the table at the end of the document and the follow example above to complete this exercise TAC ACA ATA CAA TAA GAA GATBAAC CAC CGC ATT DNA sequence Wild type mRNA sequence 01 22 dj TAC GAA GAG CAA AAA ATT AUG CUU CUC GUU UUU UAA Amino acid sequence AUG UGU UAU GUU AUU CUU CUA UUG GUG GCG UAA Lab 10 14 BIO111 General Biology I Use the genetic code from the table provided to identify the type of mutation that has occurred in the wild type sequence you translated above Choose among following mutations insertion frameshift mutation introducing a stop codon deletion frameshift mutation insertion frameshift mutation silent substitute mutation or substitute mutation Bear in mind that if the stop codon occurs as a result of a mutation this will result in the formation of a polypeptide chain that is shorter than the wild type chain you translated above
