6 Spontaneous Formation Of Nucleotide Tautomers Can Produce Single Basepair Mutations Normally In The Keto Form G C 1 (100.68 KiB) Viewed 119 times

6.) Spontaneous formation of nucleotide tautomers can produce single basepair mutations. Normally, in the keto form, G can transiently tautomerize into the enol form. Diagram the TWO different mutations that can result from this isomer change. Indicate whether these are transitions or transversions. Could either produce a conservative missense mutation in a basic LYS codon? Explain your answer. These basepair changes are area and will only occur in one position of the codon. Why is this a fitness advantage for spontaneous mutation to form a conservative missense mutation as opposed to a non- conservative missense mutation (16 pts)?
