a mutation introduced a termination codon in the middle of an exon (coding region) of a human gene. what would happen to the expression of this gene?

Respuesta :

The phenotypic of the organism can be affected in a wide variety of ways by mutations in the coding area.

What is mutation?

  • Any modification to a cell's DNA structure. Errors in cell division can result in mutations, as can exposure to environmental factors that might damage DNA. Mutations may be detrimental, advantageous, or ineffective.
  • On the phenotypic of the organism, mutations in the coding region can have a wide range of impacts. While certain mutations in this region of the DNA/RNA can lead to positive changes, others can be detrimental, and in some cases even fatal, to an organism's ability to survive.
  • A DNA change that causes a protein to cease or end its translation earlier than predicted is known as a nonsense mutation or its synonym, a stop mutation.
