What are the more likely effect of a frameshift mutation ? (choose all that apply) Higher expression level of an otherwise unmodified protein Complete loss of protein expression due to lack of mRNA transcription from the mutant gene Altered protein function due to changes in amino acid sequence Frameshift mutations do not alter protein function; they only affect mRNA stability Protein truncation due to premature termination of translation

Which effect could a mutation in mRNA have on the production of proteins?
Rupsa S.
Which of the following are likely effects of a promoter mutation? Loss of gene transcription Altered protein function due to an altered amino acid sequence in the translated protein Promoter mutations do not alter gene expression, because promoters are not part of a gene's region that gets transcribed into RNA Gain of expression in the "wrong" cells Altered protein function due to changes in protein structure, caused in turn by changes in protein abundance
Adi S.
Which of the following mutations would most likely have the severest consequences: Explain your reasoning. a. A change in amino acid recognition of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase b. A frame shift mutation at the end of the coding sequence of a gene c. A mutation at a splice junction
