CHAPTER 10: GENE MUTATIONS
Deamination occurs spontaneously with a finite frequency. When cytosine is delaminated it is converted to uracil. Despite this uracil is not found normally in
DNA. why not?

If a single transition occurred within the DNA region containing the codon message for methionine, What alternative amino acid would be coded for.

What nucleotide sequences are prone to serve as a hot spot for mutation.

Mismatch repair depends on.,,

Trinucleotide repeat disorders are the results of??

What is true for phenotypically recognizable mutations?

What sequence is likely to be a mutation hotspot?

What is a transition mutation?

When a mutation arises which results in a premature termination of translation due to a premature stop signal what type of classification is this?

When methylated cytosine is deaminated, the resulting nucleotide is??

Fragile X syndrome is associated with trinucleotide repeats of CGG, yet these repeats occur in the DNA upstream from the first exon. What is the suggested mechanism of its phenotypic effect?
