Question

Part 1: Build Your DNA Sequence
1. Draw 9 playing cards and record the DNA sequence. Use the key below:
○ Hearts = A We have 3 Hearts
○ Spades = T We have 4 spades
○ Diamonds = C We have 2 diamonds
○ Clubs = G We have 0 clubs

Your DNA sequence (9 bases):
2. Transcribe to mRNA (replace A with U, T with A, C with G, G with C):
mRNA sequence:
UAUAUAAGG

3. Translate the mRNA into amino acids (use the codon chart):
Amino acids:
Tyr , lle, arg

Part 2: Introduce a Mutation
Type of mutation
Deletion

4. Make the mutation and write the new DNA sequence: (answer with one short and simple sentence)

Answer 1

The new DNA sequence after the deletion mutation is AATGTAAG.
