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)

Mutations are always visible. Regulatory genes control gene expression. Bacteria have multiple circular chromosomes. Mutation can affect a change in phenotype. Viral genomes can be DNA or RNA.
Protein modification can alter gene expression in many ways. Describe how phosphorylation of proteins can alter gene expression.
