I did the first one.
Which number do you need help on? Also, is this from an exam?
No, just an assignment.
I need help with 3- 5.
and then after 5, there is a small page of 3 questions
Don't worry about #2 :P
OK so The most common mutations occur in two ways: 1) a base substitution, in which one base is substituted for another 2) an insertion or deletion, in which a base is either incorrectly inserted or deleted from a codon. http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/molecular/geneticcode/section3.rhtml
In this case #1 ) a base substitution, in which one base is substituted for another Seems to be the case since the letters are being replaced
1. is D
We need to do 4 now.
That's what I'm working on.
ohhh
I would assume that because AAA is our damaging mutation because it is a type of point mutation
that's what I put for #4
Ok what's next
5
I'm sorry, I have no idea about #5. I would say it causes an uneven balance because now there is an extra A
a b c or D i think
What do you think and why.
Let me see
C
since UAG is a stop codon, see the RNA codon table in the wikipedia article for codons
Last page:
I agree with C
I want you to attempt the ones on the last page. I will check it.
ok. I say, you check?
Sure
Sounds good.
I think this is how it goes: 6. B 7.A 8.A
for 9. It's Sickle Cell Anemia
And for 10.. I need to explain what type of mutation it is
I can research it and give her the website to where I found my answer.
6,7,8 look good to me. As for #9 you're going to need to research and write about it. You need to, in your paragraph answer all of the questions that were asked not only why is it a mutation
I need to answer all the questions? or Do I just pick up and explain it?
one*
You need to answer all of those
Because if you read closely: In one paragraph of more, discuss the following about your mutation of choice-
of choice
you know what? I think you're right
okay. I'm going to get started
That's the only way you'd be able to write the paragraph, you'd be struggling to explain why it is a mutation for a whole paragraph :P let me see it once you're done! :) Good luck!
thank you so much!
You're very welcome :)
