Experiment 5 Exercise 2: Translation and Mutations
Now that you know how to transcribe DNA and translate the mRNA message, let’ s take a look at the different types of mutations that might disrupt this process. Review pp 186-187 in your book before beginning. In this exercise you will need to use the following website:
McGraw Hill. No date. Virtual Lab: DNA and Genes
http:// www. glencoe. com / sites / common _ assets / advanced _ placement / mader10e / virtual _ lab s _ 2K8 / labs / BL _ 04 / index. html
Read over the information in the Mutation Guide and close it when you are done. Note that there are several pages; you will need to click on Next to proceed through the Guide. If you want to review this material, you can click on the Mutation Guide button. You are going to run a series of simulations in which an mRNA sequence and its corresponding amino acid sequence is provided. You will be told what type of mutation you will you apply(= Mutation Rule) and you will have to determine the new, mutated mRNA and the resulting protein sequence.
