Question

Which of the following will most likely result in the synthesis of a faulty protein?

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

The primary sequence ( which is the the polypeptide chain (all the amino acids)) dictates the folding of the protein, which is its secondary and tertiary strucutre. If there is a change in the base sequence code, there can be a change in the amino acid polypeptide chain that's produced in translation. This can lead to differences in folding, which could potentially inactivate the protein or lead to a synthesis of a faulty protein
