Answer:
A mutation during protein synthesis may not affect the protein since the mutation causes a new code for the same amino acid, the protein will still function normally.
Explanation:
Protein synthesis depends on the transcription of DNA to RNA, and on the sequence of nucleotides in the chain, determining the triplets or codons that encode a specific amino acid.
In protein synthesis, when a mutation alters the codon, changing one nucleotide for another, it is possible that the mutation does not alter the amino acid and the protein functions correctly. This is because an amino acid can be encoded by several codons, as occurs with leucine, which is encoded by CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG.
<em> The other options are not correct because one mutation does not give better amino acids or more powerful proteins.</em>
Answer:
b. cis test
Explanation:
A test that is used to determine if the mutation associated with a given phenotype is due to mutations in two different genes or due to different alleles of the same gene is called a complementation test.
A complementation test is also called as a cis-trans test.
If the mutations in a complementation test are located on the same position then the genes are termed as being on the cis position otherwise on the trans-position.
A cis test, that is if the genes are located on the same position serves as a control for the complementation test.
