Original DNA Sequence: TAC ACC TTG GCG ACG ACT: (Circle Any Changes)

This document provides a worksheet for students to practice identifying different types of mutations in DNA sequences. The worksheet contains an original DNA sequence and 5 mutated sequences. For each sequence, students are asked to transcribe the DNA into mRNA, translate the mRNA into amino acids, identify the type of mutation, and determine how the mutation affects the amino acid sequence or protein.

DNA Mutations Practice Worksheet


DIRECTIONS: Transcribe and translate the original DNA sequence. Then, do the same for each mutated
DNA sequence. Then, determine the consequence, if any, for each mutation, by circling your choice for
each question. You will need a Genetic Code Chart.
