Change your code based on your assigned
group and decode again.
GROUP 1- Change the last C to a G.
GROUP 2- Remove the last 3 bases. Replace
them with TTT.
GROUP 3- Move the A between the two Cs.
GROUP 4- Remove the last 3 bases. Replace
with ACC.
GROUP 5- Remove the last 6 bases. Replace
with TAG TTT.

Gene Mutations: Substitution
• Substitution= one nucleotide base pair
substituted for another in a DNA sequence at
single point (point mutation)
• A change in one base pair = possible change in
one amino acid sequence

Gene Mutations: Insertion
(Frameshift Mutation)
• Insertion- one or more nucleotide base pairs
added into a DNA sequence at a single point.
• An insertion of one base pair causes a shift in
the reading frame = One or more amino acids

Mutations & Location
• Mutations in an unexpressed area of the
chromosome will have no effect on the
phenotype of an individual.
• If mutations occur within the gametes, they
can be inherited and expressed in the
phenotype of an individual
What happens when errors occur?
• An error occurs in transcription in 1 out of
100,000 base pairs transcribed.
• When this occurs, an RNA polymerase known
as pol II "backtracks," or reverses, along the
transcript to remove the damaged
nucleotides.

Would it be worse for an error to
occur during DNA replication or
transcription? Why?
