Question

This is the original strand of DNA: ATG AAG TTT GGC TAA

Which option would represent a frame shift mutation due to deletion during replication?

Answer 1

Answer:

ATG AAG TTG GCT AA

Explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

A genetic modification in which there is an acquisition and omission of nucleotide base in the series is called frame-shift mutation.

It modifies the reading frame of the series that can vary the amino acid sequences and the protein that it forms.

The correct answer is:

ATG AAG TTG GCT AA

This can be explained as:

• In the sequence given in the question ATG AAG TTT GGC TAA there is a deletion mutation in the Thymine (T) nucleotide.

• The deletion of thymine (T) causes the reading frame of the three-nucleotide to change and the reading pattern gets altered.

• The frame now changes and the reading will start with altered three base pairs.

So, the sequence ATG AAG TTT GGC TAA will be mutated to ATG AAG TTG GCT AA.
