Question

An alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene can alter the gene product. Each sentence below is made up of three-letter words, representing mRNA codons. THE RED ANT RAN THE FOX WAS RED THE DOG RAN The same sentences are written below with a substitution, deletion, or insertion, much as a gene may have a substitution, deletion, or insertion mutation. Identify which sentence represents a substitution, which represents a deletion, and which represents an insertion.

Answer 1

→completion of the questions: .......which represents substitution , deletion and insertion. THE DGR AN THE RED ANA TRAN THE FOX WTS RED,

Answer:

DGR from DOG (O substituted with G);SUBSTITUTION

AN from ANT (T deleted from ANT)DELETION

ANA from ANT( A substituted T in ANT) SUBSTITUTION

TRAN from RAN(T inserted before RAN) INSERTION

WTS T substituted A in WAS SUBSTITUTION

Step-by-step explanation:

deletion , substitution and insertion are different pattern,of genetic mutations Gene substitution is not as severe as the insertion, and deletion; because the two give a different protein combination compare to the normal protein sequence, by causing A FRAME SHIFTS which affect the next CODONS,
