6. A gene has a base sequence that begins with TAA TGA CTA GCT. Answer the following questions using the codon table from question #5
a) What RNA sequence would be produced during transcription? Hint: In RNA, A pairs with U. (1
point)
b) What are the first four amino acids coded by this sequence? Hint Look up the amino acids on
the codon table. (1 point)
c) The gene has a frameshift mutation, where the fifth base in the sequence is deleted. Write the
new DNA base sequence. Hint: Rewrite the sequence without the fifth base. (1 point)
d) What is the new RNA sequence? Hint in RNA, A pairs with U (1 point)
