What happens to the mutated Braf? Is this mutation a gain of function or loss of function?
Ans: Braf are basically gene which helps to give direction for making a proteins that help trasmitt. Braf gene are siganal transduction protein inside the cell and this is related to the cell growth as well as cell division.
Mutated Braf gene start overgrowth of cell or you can se gain of cell, that can further leads to cancer.

1)Will a loss of function X-linked mutation ever confer a mutated phenotype, if carried on one of the X chromosomes of a female? Explain 2)Will you expect a null mutation in the gene encoding DNA Polymerase to be a lethal mutation? Why?

Genetic Code: The dictionary of the language of life Use the Genetic Code as a "dictionary" to solve the exercises on next page 5. If a mutation happens in the DNA that changes the T at base 14 to a G: a) What would be mutated sequence of nucleotides in the corresponding codon in the mRNA and the anticodon in the tRNA? Is there any change in the corresponding amino acid in the protein? b) What is the name of this type of...
Explain why a gain-of-function mutation to a proto-oncogene (or its promoter) may be associated with increased risk of cancer. (b) Explain why a loss-of-function mutation to a tumor suppressor gene may be associated with increased risk of cancer.
Bacteria have a high mutation rate comlared to animals. Please explain what is being mutated and how. will each mutation kead to a noticeable change in the organism?
What kind of mutation does the Glu to Val mutation represent? Explain your answer for each. Silent vs. Missense vs. Nonsense Gain of function vs. Loss of function Transversion vs. transition

If there were a mutation to aldolase in which the active site aspartate was mutated to tyrosine, how might the mutation affect the kinetics of the aldose? Would the enzyme be catalytically competent? Which kinetic parameters would you expect to be affected and how?
2) What is the most likely phenotype of a loss of function mutation in a proto-oncogene? (you may select more than one answer) a) Increased cell division b) decreased cell division c) cancer d) non-disjunction
