Question

this mutation leads to the production of a dysfunctional protein because a

Answer 1

Answer:

due to change in actual DNA

Explanation:

Mutation is a change of a single or group of genome (nucleotide sequence) which then may show another characters instead of the original .

If a DNA inside a cell show mutation, the same changed genome sequence will also affect the replication and triplet codon sequence in mRNA. This affect the transcription and collectively the whole process of proteins synthesis ( as ribosome punch the amino acids by the triplet codon instruction on mRNA to form protein).

remember ( the basic scheme of central dogma/ protein synthesis )

DNA ⇒ mRNA ⇒ triplet codon ⇒ ribosome and rRNA ⇒ aminoacids punching ⇒ tRNA ⇒ protein

Hence mutation may lead to dysfunctional proteins ( as the original DNA and replicated mRNA, both have mutated gene )
