The normal (wild-type) version of a particular protein includes a stretch of amino acids as follows:
MET-TRP-VAL-ASP
A mutant arose in this strain as a result of treatment with a mutagen known to change, delete or add single bases. A new amino acid sequence of the mutant is now:
MET-MET-GLY-STOP
Answer the following questions by referring to the attached genetic code
. a) Show the probable sequence(s) for mRNA which codes for this sequence of amino acids in the wild-type.
b) Show the new mRNA sequence in the mutant.
c) State specifically what mutational event the mutagen caused.
