You discover a single base deletion in region E of this DNA sequence. Regarding transcription, this mutation will most likely:

PLEASE explain why that would be the right answer and why the other answers won't be correct. I am so confused.

Regulatory Region 3 UTR DE F ATAA You discover a single base deletion in region E of this DNA sequence. Regarding translation, this mutation will likely: A) Have no affect on translation or the sequence of amino acids B) C) D) produced Increase or decrease the amount of protein translated. Result in a shorter protein due to a shorter mRNA sequence. Result in an alteration of the amino acid sequence due to the frameshift mutation.

Explanation / Answer

Answer

D) result in an alteration of the amino acid sequence due to the frame shift mutation

Because it is cause by indels of a number of nucleotide is not divisible in a DNA sequence & they are more commonly found in repeated regions

Answer

B) Result in an alteration to the mRNA sequence

Because Mutations are errors in codons caused by changes in nucleotide the genetic code is degenerate, the codon will still code for the amino acid
