Question

What are mutations and how can they affect proteins

Answer 1

Answer:

I just finished the assignment on Edg and I'll just copy and paste what I wrote.

A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. The shape of a protein can change when a mutation occurs. The shape of a protein can change the way a protein functions. There are multiple different mutations that can change the way a protein functions: an insertion mutation, a deletion mutation, and a substitution mutation. Changes that a mutation may cause can be either beneficial, harmful, or neutral.

Edg asks for what you included in your response.

The certain details are:

-Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence of a gene.

-Mutations can affect the shape of the protein that is produced.

-A change in the shape of the protein affects the function of the protein, which may affect the trait that is seen.

The sample response on Edg is a combination of all the above in the order that they are given, make sure to include them in your answer.

I hope I helped!
