URGENT HELP GENETICS

Shown below is a list of statements (a-k) and types of mutations (1-6). On the blank
line following each mutation, write the letter(s) of all statements that apply to that
type of mutation. Hint: Each statement may be used more than once and each type of
mutation may have more than one correct statement.

(a) A mutation that changes UUA to UUG
(b) A mutation that gives methionine instead of leucine
(c) Created by the addition of a nucleotide to a coding region
(d) A stop codon is read as an amino acid
(e) A chemically similar amino acid is replaced by the mutation
(f) A mutation that changes CCU to ACU
(g) Deleting a nucleotide in a coding region gives this type of mutation
(h) Mutation does not alter the peptide
(i) A mutation changing UAU to UAG
(j) Premature termination codon is responsible for this mutation
(k) A chemically different amino acid is replaced by the mutation

(1) Missense mutation __________
(2) Silent mutation __________
(3) Frameshift mutation __________
(4) Nonsense mutation __________
(5) Synonymous mutation __________
(6) Suppressor mutation __________
