Match Each Mutation with Statement(s) That Apply to That Type

Question 1

Matching

Match each mutation with statement(s) that apply to that type of mutation. Note that each statement may be used more than once and each type of mutation may have more than one correct statement.

Premises:
missense mutation
silent mutation
frameshift mutation
nonsense mutation
synonymous mutation
nonsense suppressor mutation
Responses:
a mutation that changes UUA to UUG
a mutation that gives methionine instead of leucine
created by the addition of a nucleotide to a coding region
a stop codon is read as an amino acid
a chemically similar amino acid is replaced by the mutation
a mutation that changes CCU to ACU
da nucleotide in a coding region gives this type of mutation
mutation does not alter the peptide
a mutation changing UAU to UAG
premature termination codon is responsible for this mutation
a chemically different amino acid is replaced by the mutation

Correct Answer:

missense mutation
a mutation that gives methionine instead of leucine
missense mutation
a chemically similar amino acid is replaced by the mutation
missense mutation
a mutation that changes CCU to ACU
missense mutation
a chemically different amino acid is replaced by the mutation
frameshift mutation
created by the addition of a nucleotide to a coding region
frameshift mutation
da nucleotide in a coding region gives this type of mutation
silent mutation
a mutation that changes UUA to UUG
silent mutation
mutation does not alter the peptide
synonymous mutation
a mutation that changes UUA to UUG
synonymous mutation
mutation does not alter the peptide
