REQUIRED ESSAY QUESTION***
Previously, we learned about the MC1R gene and its role in hair color. As a natural redhead, I was curious about what mutations caused this. I found out that there were several possibilities: the MC1R gene actually has 951 coding nucleotides, so that is a large number of possibilities. TRANSCRIBE and TRANSLATE these two genes and explain what type of mutation this is! Please note, this is only a portion of the gene and does not include a start or stop codon. Your answer must include both mRNA strands and both amino acid sequences.
Normal hair: DNA TEMPLATE = ...5' GAT GCT GTG GTA GCG 3'...
Red hair: DNA TEMPLATE = ...5' GAT GCT GTG GTA GCA 3'...
