Question

What would happen to the blue spruce protein if a mutation occurred that inserted a T into the middle of the DNA sequence? *

Answer 1

Answer:

Every amino acid in the chain changes, making the protein not functional

Explanation:

The gene, or sequence of DNA, ultimately determines the unique sequence of amino acids in each peptide chain. A change in nucleotide sequence of the gene's coding region may lead to a different amino acid being added to the growing polypeptide chain, causing a change in protein structure and therefore function.
