Mutations in genes that code for some hemidesmosome proteins can produce a similar phenotype in patients as mutations in genes that code for desmosome proteins. Explain why
Added by Sumaiya A.
Step 1
Step 1: Mutations in genes that code for hemidesmosome proteins can lead to a similar phenotype as mutations in genes that code for desmosome proteins because both types of proteins are involved in cell adhesion and maintaining the structural integrity of tissues. Show more…

Frameshift mutations often result in truncated proteins. Explain this observation based on the genetic code.
Madhur L.
a geneticist found that a particular mutation had no effect on the protien coded by a gene. what do you think is the most likely type of mutation in this gene? why?
Adi S.
Why do some mutations in a gene not lead to a change in the protein which the gene codes for? genes with any errors are not transcribed the mutation may only change one codon to another which codes for the same amino acid the ribosome has an editing function which allows it to "correct" any errors a change to one amino acid is not significant enough to affect the function of a protein
