Promoter 5' UTR Coding region Transcription start site 5'-TACCCAGATAATATATACGCATGACACATATGGACACCGATTATAAAGATATCTACTGCCGCGAGAATTATAG-3' 3' UTR Translation start codon Translation stop codon For each DNA sequence below, there is a single nucleotide mutation in the DNA sequence. For all examples, the mutation is highlighted in orange. A codon table is provided on the second page for your reference. Answer each of the following questions for EACH DNA sequence: A) what type of mutation is shown based on the nature of the genetic change (frameshift mutation or point mutation; if a point mutation, transition or transversion) B) what type of mutation is shown based on the functional impact on the organism (frameshift, silent, missense, nonsense, noncoding) C) What do you predict the effect of that mutation will be on either the structure or function of a protein, or on the phenotype of the organism. Explain your answer. For this part, there are some examples where you should know exactly the effect of the mutation, and some where you may have to infer this information based on the location of the mutation.
Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial genomics has helped researchers in understanding the pathogenicity of bacteria and other microbes.
Transformation Experiment in Bacteria
In the discovery of genetic material, the experiment conducted by Frederick Griffith on Streptococcus pneumonia proved to be a stepping stone.
Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic material which can be transferred into another cell and further carry out replication and expression. Plasmids can act as vectors.
