Explain what mutations are and why they can be such a problem. In addition to that, please explain the similarities and differences between frameshift and point mutations. do not simply copy from your book, my notes, or a website.

The effect of base-pair substitution mutations on protein function varies widely from no detectable effect to the complete loss of protein function (null allele).

Part A Why do the functional consequences of base-pair substitution vary so widely? Select the four correct answers.

1. Nucleotide substitutions might not cause changes in the amino acid sequence of the protein.

2. The reading frame of the gene could be affected by base-pair substitution mutations, which almost always leads to lack of function.

3. Nucleotide substitutions in exons always lead to changes of amino acids in the protein.

4. The reading frame of the gene could be affected by base-pair substitution mutations, which rarely leads to lack of function.

5. Missense mutations create amino acid substitutions, which might affect protein functionality.

6. Mutations that occur in the intron sequences generally do not affect protein functionality.

!. Describe in detail how insertion,deletion, and base substitution of nucleotides can have asignificant impact on genes. Find three specific examples (actualgene mutations, not chromosome mutations) of ways in which avery small change in DNA can have a major impact on an organism,and describe each mutation in detail.

2. Why do agricultural researchers intentionally producepolyploid crop plants? Explain in detail what polyploidy means anddiscuss different types of polyploid plants. Give four specific detailed examples ofactual commercial crops that are polyploid. In each case explainwhy polyploidy is advantageous. Also, indicate whether thepolyploidy occurred naturally or describe how botanists created thenew varieties. Why is it more common for polyploidy to occur inplants than in animals? Give examples of types of animals that havebeen found to exhibit polyploidy.
