A team of students develop a model to describe why structural changes to genes affect proteins. The team provides two groups of students with the same materials, but one group must make a bridge while the other group makes a building. Analyze the team's model and explain why it incorrectly models the impact of gene mutations on proteins.

The fundamental and the structural unit of the hereditary that codes for certain information and proteins required for signalling and cell functioning are called a gene.

The bridge model is correct.

How the gene mutations can impact the proteins?

Gene codes for various proteins required by the cell to function and regulate, a mutation or change in the sequence of the region will result in the modification of the proteins coded and hence the genotype and the phenotype will alter.

In the building model if a gene is mutated and the proteins get altered then the whole sequence and the information for which it is coding will modify.

Therefore, gene mutation will affect the proteins.
