BONUS: You have a DNA sequence that codes for a protein and is 105 nucleotides long. A frameshift mutation
occurs at the 85th base - how many amino acids will be correct in this protein? SHOW YOUR WORK.

Respuesta :

28 AMINO ACID will be correct in this protein.

Explanation:

The DNA Sequence that codes for the protein, 105 nucleotides long then, If the frame mutation occurs in the 85th base it means that the at least 84 bases does not change their place. It means that 28 amino acid is required to correct  the protein (84:3) =28.

The sequence of nucleotide in the DNA will change because of mutation occur in the gene. But in the frame the mutation have the effect of changing the amino acid in the nucleotide . amino acid determination can be complicated  because it has different codons still code the amino acid.
