Supplemental File S3 - Effects of Mutations on Proteins – Formative Assessment 1.docx Name: ____________________________________________ 1) Suppose that a single DNA base change of an A to a T occurs and is copied during replication. Is this change necessarily a mutation? a. Yes, it is a change in the DNA sequence. b. Yes, if the base change occurs in a gamete (sperm or egg cell); otherwise, no. c. Yes, if the base change occurs in the coding part of a gene; otherwise, no. d. Yes, if the base change occurs in the coding part of a gene and alters the amino acid sequence of a protein; otherwise, no. e. Yes, if the base change alters the appearance of the organism (phenotype); otherwise, no. 2) A population of buffalos is isolated such that no new buffalos can come into their territory. Which of the following is primarily responsible for the appearance of new alleles in this population? a) Reassortment of chromosomes during the process of creating sperm or eggs. b) Mutations in cells that will become sperm or eggs. c) Changes in the environment that favor some buffalo traits over others. d) Random mating between the buffalos in the population. Use the following mRNA codon key as needed to answer the next two questions: GCC Alanine AAU Asparagine CCU Proline GGA Glycine UGG Tryptophan UGA “Stop” (no amino acid) GAA Glutamic acid GAG Glutamic acid AGG Arginine CCC Proline CAU Histidine 3) The following DNA sequence (coding strand) occurs near the middle of the coding region of a gene: 5’-A A T G A A T G G G A G C C T G A A G G A G-3’. The first nucleotide is position 45. The corresponding mRNA sequence is shown below. Note that the coding strand of DNA has the same sequence as the mRNA, except that there are U’s in the mRNA where there are T’s in the DNA. The first triplet of nucleotides AAU (underlined) is in frame for coding, and encodes Asparagine as the codon table above indicates. Which of the following DNA mutations is almost certain to result in a shorter than normal mRNA? a. A to G at position 50 b. G to A at position 53 c. C to A at position 58 d. None of the above 4) For the same DNA sequence, which of the following DNA mutations is almost certain to result in a shorter-than-normal protein? a. T to C at position 59 b. A to G at position 61 c. Insertion of a G after the G at position 54 d. None of the above 5) You have identified a previously unknown human gene that appears to have a role in autism. It is similar enough in DNA sequence to a known mouse gene that you believe that the two genes may be evolutionarily related. You determine and compare the DNA sequences, the predicted mRNA sequences, and the predicted amino acid sequences corresponding to the two genes. You would expect to find the greatest sequence similarity from comparisons of the two: a. DNA sequences b. mRNA sequences c. Amino acid sequences d. All three comparisons are likely to show the same degree of sequence similarity 6) The coding DNA sequence (CDS) of a protein is given below. The nucleotides are numbered as shown. What would be the effect on the protein produces by translation of this CDS if a mutation inserted two nucleotides (AG) between nucleotides 4 and 5? 1 5 9 15 ATG GTA GAA ACG TAG a. the protein will be shorter than normal; its amino acid sequence changes b. the protein will be longer than normal; its amino acid sequence changes c. the protein will remain the same length; its amino acid sequence does not change d. the protein will remain the same length; its amino acid sequence changes e. write in your own prediction: 7a) The following CDS contains 63 nucleotides and one stop codon. How many stop codons would you expect to see in a random sequence of the same length? ATGGTCACGACGCATCGAGTCTATATCCGGAGGACAGTATCGAACGTCCGATGCATCTAGCGA a) 0 b) 1 c) 2 d) 3 7b) Is the difference between the observed value and the expected value (your answer from 7a) statistically significant? Perform a statistical test to compare the observed and expected values.
