Questiоns 28-29 (12 pоints) The аminо аcid sequence of melittin (а small peptide found in honeybee venom) is shown below: >Melittin MGIGAVLKVLTTGLPALISWIKRKRQQ Imagine that a rogue entomologist used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to mutate the gene encoding melittin in the honeybee genome in order to create a “safe” honeybee whose sting does not cause allergic reactions in susceptible people. After CRISPR-Cas9 was performed, the scientist identified four bees that each contain an independent DNA mutation in the gene encoding melittin. However, as news of this unethical and unapproved experiment leaked to the public, the scientist fled the country with all relevant lab notebooks. As an expert in DNA mutation and CRISPR-Cas9 technology, the authorities have hired you to analyze the results and determine how the mutants were created. The sequence of the protein that is translated from each of these four independent mutations is the only information the rogue entomologist left behind. For each of the four mutated sequences, assign which type of mutation (silent, missense, nonsense, or frameshift) occurred in the melittin gene to produce that protein. (2 points per mutation)
