Question

Which of the following statements applies to gain-of-function mutations? Gain-of-function mutations cause a protein to be active in extreme conditions such as high temperature. Gain-of-function mutations will only show a phenotype when heterozygous. Gain-of-function mutations are usually associated with dominant phenotypes. Gain-of-function mutations will only show a phenotype when homozygous.
