GENE MUTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the Point mutation from the following DNA sequence:ATG CCA AAT
A
ATG TCA AAT
B
ATG CCT AAA T
C
ATC CA AT
D
ATG CCA AAT
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA sequencing can be used to verify the mutation after any of these techniques. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is an electrophoretic method to identify single base changes in a segment of DNA. Separation techniques on which DGGE is based were first described by Fischer and Lerman.

Detailed explanation-2: -These groupings are divided into silent mutations, missense mutations, and nonsense mutations.

Detailed explanation-3: -A substitution mutation changes the codon CCC to CCA, both of these codons code for Proline.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mutations can be of many types, such as substitution, deletion, insertion, and translocation.
