Question
A specific type of this phenomenon in the CCR5 gene has been linked to HIV resistance. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this type of mutation that results from the insertion or deletion of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, causing a change in the reading during translation.
ANSWER: frameshift mutation
[10m] The sequences of nucleotides that come in three are known by this name. A frameshift mutation also alters the “stop” variety of these sequences, which signal to halt translation.
ANSWER: codons [accept stop codon]
[10e] As a result of changing the nucleotides, a frameshift mutation messes up the production of these molecules that are added one-by-one to a growing polypeptide chain during translation. These molecules are the building blocks of proteins.
ANSWER: amino acids
