Question

Mutagenesis is a technique in which genetic information of an organism is altered in a stable
manner resulting in a mutation. It may occur spontaneously in nature of as a result of
exposure to mutagens. It can also be achieved experimentally using optimized laboratory
procedures.
(i)
(ii)
What is site directed mutagenesis (SDM)?
Explain how SDM can assist in the integration of a His-tag at the end of your gene of
interest.

Expert Solution

Step 1

There are a few important points :

Mutation: A sudden and heritable change in the sequence of the genome of an organism that gives rise to forms of any gene is called a mutation.
Mutagenesis: The process in which mutation is produced is called mutagenesis.
Mutagen: It is an agent that leads to an increase in the frequency of occurrence of mutations.
