The correct answer is 32. 2x2x2x2x2=32 64 10 5’ AUC GGA ACA 3’ 5' AUA GUA ACA 3' The correct answer is 5' AUC GUA ACA 3' Ile Val Thr 5’ AUG GUA ACA 3’ 5’ AUC GCA ACA 3’ 7 If the original coding sequence is 5’ CGA TAC TTC AGA 3’ and it is mutated to 5' CGA TAT TTC AGA 3', what type of mutation would have taken place? (0/1 Points) Silent Missense The correct answer is silent mutation. The nucleotide sequence changes, but it codes for the same amino acid. The coding sequence 5' TAC 3' corresponds to the mRNA sequence 5' UAC 3' (Tyr), and the coding sequence 5' TAT 3' corresponds to the mRNA sequence 5' UAU 3' (Tyr). Since the C changed to at T, this is a point mutation. If the point mutation results in the same amino acid in the new sequence as in the original sequence, the point mutation is a silent mutation. Nonsense Insertion 8 This learning objective is now tested in a different WGU course than Biochemistry. Please select True. True The correct answer is Option 1 because an autosomal dominant disorder would be inherited on numbered chromosomes, not sex chromosomes X or Y. Also, at least one dominant allele (yellow box) needs to be present for the individual to have the dominant disease. False True The correct answer is X- linked recessive because parents (carriers) do not have it (II-5- 6) but a child does (III-5). You will get the same result if you consider parents (carriers) (I-1-2), who do not have the trait, but a child does (II-3). A third option that gives the same result (X-linked recessive) is by considering parents (carriers) who do not have the trait (III-1-2), and their child does (IV-1). The pattern is recessive because the selected parents are carriers, and it is X-linked because only males have the trait. False True The correct answer is 50%. Homozygous recessive: aa Heterozyg
