2. The image shown below is the structure of a Drosophila gene, divided into 10
segments, labelled A-J. The image represents the coding strand of the gene, which
contains three exons, two introns, a promoter, and a site in segment J that
corresponds to where the poly(A)-tail is added to the RNA transcript.

2D) A +1 insertion mutation occurred in region D, after the ATG sequence. How would
this mutation likely affect the product produced? Would the RNA transcript be
produced ? Would a functional polypeptide chain be made?

4. Cystic fibrosis is a recessive human genetic condition that affects lung function.
Cystic Fibrosis is caused by mutationsin the human CFTR gene that result in a
defective CFTR protein. Taylor is a heterozygous carrier of a mutant CFTR allele.
Below is the template strand DNA sequence for both of Taylor's CFTR alleles. Within
this sequence is the first 5 codons of protein reading frame. The difference between the
mutant allele and wildtype allele is underlined and bolded.
