Explanation / Answer

26. Study the nucleotide sequences of wild type and its mutant gene below:

Wild type : GAACCATG Mutant type: GAACAATG

This mutation can best be called:

Answer: d) All of the above

Point mutation is type of mutation where only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence is affected.

Substitution is a type of point mutation where one nucleotide is substituted with the other.

Transversion is a type of mutation where a pyrimidine nucleotide (C or T) is substituted by a purine nucleotide (A or G) or vise versa.

27. Study the nucleotide sequences of wild type and its mutant gene below:

Wild type : GAACCATG Mutant type: GAACATG

This mutation can best be called:

Answer: b) Deletion

One nucleotide 'C' is been deleted in the mutant type.

28. Study the nucleotide sequences of wild type and its mutant gene below:

Wild type DNA: ATG CCC GAA CCC AAA ATG

Mutant type DNA: ATG CCC TAA CCC AAA ATG

This mutation can best be called:

Answer: a) Non-sense mutation

Non-sense is a type of mutation that results in premature stop codon.
