GET OUT YOUR FOCUS QUESTIONS FOR INSPECTION! (Or a blank sheet of paper if you did nothing)

• Nah...I wanna get marked Tardy

• Ok, Fine! Good thing I did those sweet, sweet focus questions!

• Blank sheet of paper it is for me.

Get out your codon chart/wheel. Use it to answer this question.

A scientist investigates the effects of a single-base substitution mutation in a three-base DNA sequence. This three-base DNA sequence codes for an amino acid.

A table containing some of the scientist’s data is shown. (Tap the image to enlarge)

What mRNA sequence belongs in Box 3?

Use your focus questions to answer this question.

A scientist investigates the effects of a single-base substitution mutation in a three-base DNA sequence. This three-base DNA sequence codes for an amino acid.

A table containing some of the scientist’s data is shown.

With respect to the changes in the nucleotide structure of DNA, what type of mutation occurred?

• SNP/substitution

• indel (either an insertion or a deletion)

• missense

• nonsense

• silent
