A single point mutation in a gene results in a nonfunctional protein. Individuals heterozygous for this mutation were identified using a Southern blot. Which pair of WT and mutant alleles most likely contains the mutation?
A) WT: 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mt: 5-TAGTCGATGCTTAGGCATCT-3
B) WT: 5-TAGTCGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Mt: 5-TAGTTGAAGCTTAGGCATCT-3
Could someone please explain to me why the ans is A? Im having a hard time with palindromic sequences.
