A frameshift of an entire coding region of an mRNA molecule is most likely to be caused by a:

Group of answer choices

A. Double nucleotide mutation of an insertion and a deletion.

B. Transition mutation

C. Single nucleotide deletion.

D. Nonsense mutation

Expert Solution

Single nucleotide deletion leads to an entire change in amino acid sequence than a double mutation of deletion and insertion because in the later one deletion neutralizes the effect of insertion due to which the last sequence becomes normal without the mutation. But a single deletion mutation entire sequence gets changed.

The answer is option C.

A frameshift mutation caused by the insertion of a nucleotide in the mRNA with the sequence 5' CAT CAT CAT CAT CAT CAT CAT CAT CAT produces an inactive protein. A second frameshift, caused by the deletion of a second nucleotide at some position downstream of the nucleotide insertion, restores the protein function. If the restored protein product contains four amino acids residues that differ from the wild-type protein, what are the maximum and minimum number of nucleotides between the...

The hunchback gene contains a promoter region, the structural region (the amino acid coding sequence), and a 3' untranslated region (DNA that will be transcribed into sequences appearing at the 3' end of the mRNA that are not translated into amino acids). a. What important sequences required to control hunchback gene expression are found in the promoter region of hunchback? b. What sequence elements that encode specific protein domains are found in the structural region of hunchback? c. There is...

1) What is the shortest possible length of an mRNA molecule that corresponds to a polypeptide 10 amino acids long? For your answer just give me the number. E.g., "12" or "120." (Ignore the 5' cap and poly-A tail.) 2) How can the deletion of one nucleotide result in a longer polypeptide being made?

1. If this insertion is within the coding region of a viral protein, will this insertion result in a frameshift for the rest of the protein? How do you know? 2. The insertion mutation is in a gene that codes for a protein on the surface of the virus, probably a glycoprotein. Assume that this protein is involved in attachment to a host cell. How might a change in a protein involved in attachment change the potential hosts for the...
