The following DNA fragment is from the middle of the protein-coding sequence of a gene. CACTCTGTTCCCGGTAGTGAGACAAGGGCCATYou determine that the sequence contains a tryptophan codon.  Use that information to label the 5’ and 3’ ends of both strands of the above sequence.5′ end is: (write top or bottom)3′ end is: (write top or bottom) Write out the sequence of the mRNA produced from this bit of DNA. Write from 3′ to 5′ direction.    A mutation happens that affects a single base-pair, and changes the fourth amino acid (read NH2 to COOH) to phenylalanine (Phe). It doesn’t affect any other amino acids. 3′ CACTCTGTTCCTGGTA 5′ 5′ GTGAGACAAGGACCAT 3′ What type of mutation is it?
