Paul is a first-year graduate student working in a bacterial pathogenesis lab focused on finding therapeutic drugs to target a specific bacterial organism. Since Paul was new to research he did not fully understand why it was important to use a newly grown bacterial culture for each experiment and thus decided to use a 5-day old bacterial culture to repeat his experiments. When his experimental results were drastically different he decided to sequence the DNA of the 5-day old bacteria and compare it to his original culture. His results showed that a metabolic gene with the following RNA sequence
**AUGUCUGGUGGUGAA**
**CGCGUG** underwent a spontaneous mutation and the underlined ‘
**C**’ was changed to an ‘
**A**’.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the amino acid sequence
**before** the mutation?

2. What is the amino acid sequence
**after** the mutation?

3. What
**specific** type of mutation occurred?

4. What
**enzyme** was responsible for this mutation? Explain why you chose that enzyme.
