D1.2.11—Mutations changing protein structure Topic Practice
D1.2.11—Mutations changing protein structure Topic Practice
Practise tracing how DNA base substitutions can alter codons, amino acid sequences and protein structure, including sickle cell anaemia.
How this is tested
- predict amino acid changes from mutated DNA sequences using codon information
- explain how a base substitution can change haemoglobin structure in sickle cell anaemia
- distinguish silent mutations from changes that alter the translated polypeptide
