Below are two, point mutations that can occur in the CAT gene. a. For both mutations, write the names and effects of the mutation (for example, Frameshift Insertion Missense).
b. Identify which of the two mutations would reduce the function of the protein catalase the most and use
reasoning to explain why. You do not have to translate into amino acids, just look at the DNA base code
compared to the normal strand for the mutation.
NORMAL DNA: 5' CCG CAC GCT ATG GCT GAC AGC CGG GAT CCC GCC 3'
CAT1 Mutation: 5' CCG CAC GCT ATG GCT AGC CGG GAT CCC GCC 3'
CAT2 Mutation: 5' CCG CAC GCT ACT 3'
