Answer the following questions based on this codingstrand ofDNA:                                    

                                    5’GGCCATGACAGAGGAGCAAAAGTTATTGCT 3’

Drennan et al. (1996) identified several mutations in thisenzyme that result in methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). One of thosemutations is a C to A at base pair 1904 in the coding strand of DNA(bold and italicized in the template strand).

  1. Write the unique coding strand of DNA for this patient andhighlight the change you made. Write it 5’ to 3’.
  2. Write the mRNA sequence for this patient and clearly highlightthe change you made. Write it 5’ to 3’.
  3. Write the amino acid sequence for this patient, highlight whatdiffers from the normal (wildtype) sequence.
  4. What type of mutation is this? (insertion, deletion, silent,nonsense,missense,or frameshift mutation? Explain yourreasoning.
