Question

What can fish color tell us about human pigmentation? Skin color is often one of the first traits people notice in each other. Studies in zebra fish uncovered a mutation that altered a transport protein and resulted in light-colored fish. This discovery led to the finding that the same gene in humans has a strong influence on skin pigmentation in many populations. The zebra fish mutation that reduced coloration created a null allele of the transport protein gene Which of the following types of mutation would be most likely to create this null allele? a mutation a mutation a silent mutation a neutral mutation

Explanation / Answer

Answer is Frameshift mutation.

Null alleles result from the mutation due to which there is complete lack of normal function of the protein or the complete non expression of the gene.
