Question

Inappropriate expression could result in a _________ mutation if the _________ of normal expression causes a mutant phenotype while _________ of abnormal expression does not. The _________ of abnormal expression could also cause a mutant phenotype even if the __________ of normal expression does not. And if the _________ of normal expression and the ____________ of abnormal expression both result in mutant phenotypes, the inserted transposon vector could conceivably result in both _________ and __________ mutations.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Inappropriate expression could result in a loss-of-function mutation if the loss  of normal expression causes a mutant phenotype while gain of abnormal expression does not. The gain of abnormal expression could also cause a mutant phenotype even if the loss  of normal expression does not. And if the loss of normal expression and the gain of abnormal expression both result in mutant phenotypes, the inserted transposon vector could conceivably result in both loss-of-function  and gain-of-function  mutations.

Within the genome, mobile genetic elements, or DNA segments called transposons, can readily alter their position.  Transposon mutagenesis describes a process where transposons are introduced into a chromosome to induce translation and expression.

Further Explanation:

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded,
