For your initial post, compete all of the following: Part 1 Describe the basics of transcription and translation. Where in human cells does each of these processes occur? What are start and stop codons? What are insertion, deletion, and substitution mutations? What are frameshift, missense, nonsense, and silent mutations? Which type of mutation is most likely to cause a change in a proteins structure and function (frameshift, missense, nonsense, and or silent mutations)? What is least likely to change the proteins structure and function? Explain. Part 2 Write your own sequence of DNA that could be turned into a protein. This should be approximately 30 letters long (10 codons). It should be in the format 3 AAG CCC .. 5 Be sure to include a start codon of TAC and a stop codon of your choice. Do not do any transcribing or translating at this time. Just include the DNA sequence in the 3 to 5 direction. Write a mutated sequence based on your first sequence above with either an insertion, deletion, or substitution mutations. Do not write anywhere what type of mutation has occurred. Just write the sequence itself.
