Question

Which of the following mutations would most likely be identified as a chromosomal translocation?
A mutation occurs while copying a chromosome. Instead of reading EFGHI, the chromosome reads EFGFGHI.
The genetic sequence is MNOPQ. A mutation occurs and the sequence of bases that encodes for gene N is not copied.
The sequence of bases on the mRNA reads CUU and codes for the amino acid Leucine. A mutation occurs and the mRNA sequence changes to CCU and now codes for the amino acid Proline.
A sequence of bases encodes for genes XXY. A portion of another chromosome breaks off and

Answer 1

A mutation occurs while copying a chromosome. Instead of reading EFGHI, the chromosome reads EFGFGHI.

Answer 2

thanks a ton!

Answer 3

In genetics, a chromosome translocation is a chromosome abnormality caused by rearrangement of parts between nonhomologous chromosomes. A gene fusion may be created when the translocation joins two otherwise separated genes, the occurrence of which is common in cancer. It is detected on cytogenetics or a karyotype of affected cell

Answer 4

A sequence of bases encodes for genes XXY. A portion of another chromosome breaks off and inserts within genes XYZ.
