Question

question 1 - 8
you are testing whether uv radiation caused mutations in a sample of cells. you plan to run experiments to detect these mutations. which three aspects of the cells would give you the best evidence that mutations occurred?
protein folding
dna sequence
number of protein types expressed
protein function
protein amino - acid sequence

Explanation:

Mutations are changes in DNA sequence. A change in DNA can lead to changes in the number of protein types expressed as different genes may be activated or inactivated. Also, changes in DNA can alter the protein amino - acid sequence as the genetic code is used to translate DNA into proteins. Protein folding and protein function can be affected by mutations but are secondary effects. The most direct evidence comes from DNA sequence, and changes in protein - related aspects that are directly linked to DNA changes.

Answer:

B. DNA sequence
C. Number of protein types expressed
E. Protein amino - acid sequence
