Mutations Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on identifying and analyzing different types of mutations in DNA sequences, including point missense, point nonsense, and frameshift mutations. Students are tasked with determining the mRNA and amino acid sequences for various mutated DNA sequences and assessing the potential effects of each mutation. The document provides a structured format for students to record their findings and conclusions regarding the mutations.

Mutations Worksheet Name Per.

There are three main types of mutations: point missense mutations, point nonsense mutations, and frameshift
mutations. 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? (Circle 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 G A C C T T G G C G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (Circle 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 A G C G A C G A C T


What’s the mRNA sequence? (Circle the change)
