 It is primarily composed of mafic rocks, or sima, which is rich in iron and magnesium. It is thinner than continental crust, or sial, generally less than 10 kilometers thick; however it is denser, having a mean density of about 2.9 grams per cubic centimeteras opposed to continental crust which has a density of about 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter.

Question
In the gene TATTCATTGTTA—TGATTT—ATTCG, CATTGTTA encodes for pepsin, a digestive enzyme. The rest of the sequence doesn’t code for any protein. Which sequence contains a mutation that will affect the formation of pepsin? A. TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG B. TATTCATTGTTA—TGACTTT—ATTCG C. TATTCATTGTTA—TGATTT—ATTGGCG D. TATTCATTGTTA—TGAT—ATTCG E. TGCATTCATTGTTA—TGATTT—ATTCG
Solution 1
  • In the given option (A) this sequence contains a  point mutation in the TATTCATTCATTA—TGATTT—ATTCG gene coding for pepsin in the region that is underlined here.

What is Point mutation ?

  • It is a type of genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base is removed or replaced.

  • Here in above gene coding for pepsin replacement of only one nucleotide base that is G is replaced by C.

  • The other genes are non-coding that does not code for any protein, hence mutation in those genes will not cause any significant effect.
