A mutant DNA strand was transcribed then translated to proteins. a. What is the protein product of the mutant DNA strand? The sequence of the mutant strand is shown below: 5'-TGCCATAACTGTTCGTACTGGCAAATTGCC-3' 3'-ACGGTATTGACAAGCATGACCGTTTAACGG-5' b. The mutation altered the sequence of the wild type template DNA such that a degenerate codon for a basic amino acid in the wild type was converted to a non-degenerate codon resulting in the sequence for the mutant strand shown. What was the original amino acid? c. Compare the charges and pl of the mutant peptide and the normal (wild- type) peptide at physiological pH?

Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
