Mutation Analysis Worksheet

The document is a worksheet focused on identifying and analyzing mutations in DNA sequences, specifically Point and Frameshift Mutations. It provides original and mutated DNA sequences along with prompts to determine the corresponding mRNA and amino acid sequences, potential effects, and the type of mutation. The worksheet encourages careful analysis of the mutations and their implications on protein synthesis.

Mutations Worksheet

We discussed two main categories of mutations: Point Mutation & Frameshift Mutation. In each of the
following DNA sequences, you will use the mRNA and amino acid sequences to identify the mutation that
occurred and the effects of each on, if any. Look and analyze carefully!

Original DNA Sequence: T A C A C C T T G G C G A C G A C T


mRNA Sequence:
Amino Acid Sequence:

Mutated DNA Sequence #1: T A C A T C T T G G C G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (highlight the change
What will be the amino acid sequence?
Will there likely be effects?
What kind of mutation is this?

Mutated DNA Sequence #2: T A C A C C T T A G C G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (highlight the change)
What will be the amino acid sequence
Will there likely be effects?
What kind of mutation is this?

Mutated DNA Sequence #3: T A C A C C T T G G G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (highlight the change)
What will be the amino acid sequence?
Will there likely be effects?
What kind of mutation is this?

Mutated DNA Sequence #4: T A C G A C C T T G G C G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (highlight the change)
What will be the amino acid sequence?
Will there likely be effects?
