Sometimes mutations occur so that a nucleotide is removed

Last updated: 7/26/2022

Sometimes mutations occur so that a nucleotide is removed from a DNA sequence. In the mutated sequence below, a nucleotide has been deleted due to a mistake during DNA replication. Transcribe this section of DNA into mRNA and then translate the mRNA into the correct sequence of amino acids. Answer the questions below. Mutated DNA: TAC CCT GAC TGA GGA CCC TCT TCA GA mRNA: AUG GGA CUG ACU CCU GGG AGA AGU CU amino acid sequence: MET, GLY, LEU, THR, PRO, GLY, ARG, SER, CU How did the mRNA sequence change because of this deletion?
