Document Summary

Transposable elements in ways they can alter dna and cause. Ex. base pair substitution can have a specific effect on a protein product. One may be an insertion mutation that then changes the amino acids produced there after; one in exon 6 of the hgo gene, which may cause a deficiency at ha. Insertion at 119 leucine has a g inserted. If a g is inserted you have a different mrna made and a different sequence of amino acids after lecine. Sequence of part of a normal gene vs. sequence of mutated gene. Insertion of a gc base pair changes mrna template, which then changes the amino acids produced thereafter. Sometimes the insertion sequence can be identified by the repeats on either side. Insertion is bacteria; there is a transposase source which allows the mobility of these insertion elements. Unequal crossing-over can occur between homologous chromosomes. Can get mutations by pairing between homologous.

The mature mRNA transcript for a gene with one exon is originally

5' AUGAGGGAAUCCCCUAGGUGA 3'

and a mutation inserts an additional G nucleotide after position 7 in the DNA sequence so that the mutated gene produces the modified mature mRNA transcript

5' AUGAGGGGAAUCCCCUAGGUGA 3'

The amino acid sequence of the protein coded by the original gene is 1)_and the amino acid sequence of the protein coded by the mutated gene is 2)_.This is an example of a 3)_ mutation.If 3 G nucleotides were instead inserted after position 7 it would be an example of a 4)_mutation.

Homework

Which of the following is the ways in which nucleotide mutations lead to altered proteins?

One nucleotide is substituted by another nucleotide, which can cause an early stop codon to be incorporated into the amino acid sequence resulting in a truncated protein.

One nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide, which can change an amino acid in the protein sequence

Nucleotides are inserted into a nucleotide sequence causing a frameshift in the sequence.

All three choices may cause mutations.

Homework

A pregnant mother ingests a chemical which her mother said would be great for the baby. When the baby was born, it had a large head and flippers for arms. What caused this phenotype?

The chemicals were teratogens which influenced oxidative phosphorylation causing the changes in the phenotype.

The chemicals influenced the expression of different stem cells.

There is no way to assume the chemicals caused the phenotype since we have no data on other mothers who took this medicine. It could have been purely by chance.

The chemicals were teratogens which caused the baby to show early signs of evolution.
