question 16

Short Answer

The following sequence of four amino acids occurred in the structure of a polypeptide found in a wild-type organism: Leu-Ser-Ile-Arg.Several mutants were isolated,each of which carried a single base pair change in the region of DNA that coded for this amino acid sequence.Their corresponding amino acid sequences are:

What was the nucleotide sequence of the region of mRNA that coded for the amino acid sequence in the wild-type organism?(Refer to Fig. 27-7, p. 1107.)
