Question

Chromosomes contain genes, and genes determine an organism's characteristics. Sometimes mutations occur in which the sequence of nucleotides within a gene becomes altered. Which of the following describes how a gene mutation would most likely affect an organism?

Answer 1

The gene mutation is a permanent adjustment in the DNA sequence that can replicate but differ from another.

Explanation:

There is a constant change of DNA in the process of gene mutation, the gene mutation is a permanent adjustment in the DNA sequence that can replicate but differ from another.

Mutations can take the form of anatomy and deletions, creating a wide variety of lengths known as indels. This insertion and deletion in the sequence of nucleotide is called frame shift mutation.

This result comes out as a complete alteration of amino acid sequence. The who mRNA sequence would be read differently and produce a different kind of amino acid which produces polypeptide chain.
