Question

The diagram shows the effect of a point mutation on a section have a gene. The nitrogenous base adenine (A) is inserted into the sequence. ( NOTE: The diagram shows the best sequence of the union the top row in the transcribe mRNA a in the bottom row) What best describes this mutation and it’s effects on the protein that the gene produces? PLEASEEEE HELPPP HURRRYYY LLEASEE

Answer 1

Answer: Option C) It is a frameshift mutation that changes many amino acids.

Explanation:

Due to the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion of the single Adenine nucleotide will disrupt the reading frame of the gene (frameshift mutation), such that it is no longer evenly divisible by three.

Thus, resulting in a completely different translated protein from the original.
