Question

A gene has 7 exons and 6 introns. If the gene develops mutations in introns 2, 3, and 6, what will be the most likely effect on gene expression? Question 5 options: The gene will not be expressed because these mutations eliminated the start codon. The protein product of the gene will become drastically longer because of the mutations and fold improperly. The gene will still be expressed as normal because the mutations are located within the introns. The resulting mRNA will be shorter, creating a shorter protein.
