Oh No! One of the tRNA genes in E.coli was mutated so that thewrong amino acid was charged onto it. Now, the amino acid thatshould be on the tRNA containing the anticodon 5'-CCA-3' isreplaced with an Asp. DNA SEQUENCE: 5'-ATG TAG TTA TCC AAC CCT CCAAAA CAT GCA CCT CCT TAC TCA AGC AGG CAT ACG-3' a. Write out theprotein sequence (using the DNA sequence from the problem above)that would be made in this situation. (3 pts) b. Does this mutationjust affect this protein? What are the overall consequences of thistype of mutation in e.coli? (3 pts)

Original DNA sequence 5ATG TAG TTA TCC AAC CCT CCA AAA CAT GCA CCT CCT TAC TCA AGC AGG CAT ACG3 original protein sequence Met Stop L S N P P K H A P P Y S S R H T now when 5CCA3 is changed to Asp or Aspertic acid which is coded by two codon either GAT or GAC when CCA is replaced    See Answer
