Question

How could an error during transcription affect the protein that is produced

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The Protien would have the wrong shape.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Transcription refers to a phenomenon, which occurs in the nucleus of a cell that comprises the production of messenger RNA from a DNA molecule. The phenomenon is mediated with the help of an enzyme RNA polymerase. The mRNA or messenger RNA carries genetic information or the genetic codes, which is further utilized in the production of proteins via the process of translation.  

The genetic information is aligned in the form of codons that predicts the amino acids, and thus predicts the protein, which will be produced. Thus, an error at the time of transcription signifies a variation in base pairs, which further means a change in the codons, and subsequently different amino acids that would eventually lead to a formation of an incorrect protein.
