No bookmarked documents. Name: Investigation: DNA, Proteins, and Mutations Below are two partial sequences of DNA bases (shown for only one strand of DNA) Sequence 1 is from a human and sequence 2 is from a cow. In both humans and cows, this sequence is part of a set of instructions for controlling a bodily function.
What is a point mutation?This mutation is called a POINT MUTATION because only one base is affected. When the amino acid in a sequence has been changed, the shape of the protein changes and can become less functional (or not function at all.) 4 a person has a mutation in their DNA, and the first triplet for the gene coding for insulin is T A T (instead of C C A).
What is the function of the DNA sequence in a cow?In both humans and cows, this sequence is part of a set of instructions for controlling a bodily function. In this case, the sequence contains the gene to make the protein
Why are mutations essential to evolution?Mutations are essential to evolution; they are the raw material by the Understanding Evolution team A mutation is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life. An organism's DNA affects how it looks, how it behaves, and its physiology. So a change in an organism's DNA can cause changes in all aspects of its life.
