Mutations in an organisms dna can be harmful beacause

Biology
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
6 0
D) A<span> mutation can lead to the incorrect synthesis of proteins, which play a fundamental role in regulating cell activities.

Proteins are crucial to organisms as they regulate many of the cell's activities. Protein synthesis relies on DNA because DNA codes for the mRNA that is read by the ribosomes, and the ribosomes are what produce the proteins. A mutation can cause the incorrect amino acid to be coded for, which can affect the protein that the amino acid sequence/polypeptides create,</span>

How does the genotype of a bacterium determine its phenotype? Use the terms gene, mRNA, ribosome, and polypeptide in your answer
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Typically, the genotype is encoded in the DNA by the gene; this gene in the DNA will then undergo the process of transcription and the information in the gene will be transcripted into mRNA. The mRNA will then undergo the process of translation and the information in the mRNA will  be translated into a polypeptide chiefly by the action of ribosome. Thus, bacteria with different genotypes will have different protein which automatically means that they will have different phenotypes.

Obviously, rabbit's ears are always bigger than mice and Giraffe's neck is always longer than the deer's. In genetics, mutation is the process of permanent alternation of the nucleotide sequence in DNAs.
