A mutation can occur in the DNA that affects the function of a gene or a mutation occurs that influences the expression of a gene. To influence gene expression where physically could a mutation occur that would influence the production of a functional gene product? (5pts)

Step 1
A mutation can occur in the DNA that affects the function of a gene. This type of mutation usually occurs within the coding region of the gene, which is responsible for producing the protein. A mutation in this region can lead to a change in the amino acid Show more…

Mutations sometimes occur during DNA synthesis and/or transcription. The effects of these mutations range from harmless to disastrous. For the mutation shown below, determine whether it is a substitution mutation or an insertion/deletion mutation. The specific type of mutation is as follows: GCC-CCU-AGU-GGA (alaAro-ser-gly) mutates to GAC-CCC-UAG-UGG-A (asp-pro-stop). It is an insertion/deletion mutation. The frameshift causing missense mutation is a substitution mutation. The nonsense mutation is a substitution mutation. The silent mutation is a substitution mutation. The insertion/deletion mutation is an insertion/deletion mutation. The frameshift causing nonsense mutation is a frameshift causing nonsense mutation.

"Sometimes during DNA replication a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence, which is called a mutation, can occur. There are various reasons why mutations occur. In certain instances, a chemical called _______ can increase the mutation rate."
What is a mutation? an inherited change in a DNA sequence an inherited changed in DNA sequence that is always bad for an organism a change in DNA that leads to death an inherited change in DNA sequences that is the source of all genetic variation the source of all genetic variation
