Baby Frog #1 Is Homozygous for a Mutant Allele of Gene

Question 23

Multiple Choice

Baby frog #1 is homozygous for a mutant allele of gene B (allele b1) .Compare the DNA sequence from baby frog #1 with the wild-type sequence to determine how allele b1 is different from the wild-type.What effect does the mutation in allele b1 have on the protein? Baby frog #1 is homozygous for a mutant allele of gene B (allele b<sup>1</sup>) .Compare the DNA sequence from baby frog #1 with the wild-type sequence to determine how allele b<sup>1</sup> is different from the wild-type.What effect does the mutation in allele b<sup>1</sup> have on the protein?   A) Allele b<sup>1</sup> has a frameshift mutation-a deletion of one nucleotide resulting in a frameshift that changes all amino acids from that point on. B) Allele b<sup>1</sup> has a deletion of one nucleotide outside of the coding region and there is not effect on the protein. C) Allele b<sup>1</sup> has a missense mutation-a nucleotide substitution that changes one amino acid to another. D) Allele b<sup>1</sup> has a nonsense mutation-a nucleotide substitution that forms a stop codon. E) Allele b<sup>1</sup> has a nucleotide substitution that does not change the protein.
