For each of the following examples of mutations in the codon sequences of a gene, predict the likely effect on the function of the polypeptide gene product (no effect on function, weak effect, or strong effect, You will need to consult the genetic code in Table 12.1 Note that the codons shown in the examples correspond to the coding strand of the DNA-recall how the sequence of the coding strand relates to the mRNA. insertion of one base Strong effect No effect Weak effect (+1) shortly aner start codon 9:01 TGA-> TAA at end of coding region change of a codon for one acidic amino acid into another acidic amino acid AAG-AAA in middle of gene change of aCtoaG before the ATG GAG GTG change in important part of coding region CGA – TGA near beginring of gene Reset
