Question

Which of the following is most likely to be an effect of an error during transcription?
A. The formation of most defective cell
B. The production of a non functioning protein
C. A frameshift mutation in a chromosome
D. The inheritance of a mutation by offspring

Answer 1

Answer:

C ) is the answer_________

Answer 2

Answer:

B. The production of a non-functioning protein is the correct option.

Explanation:

• Non-functioning protein is most likely to be an effect of an error that occurred during transcription.
• Non- functioning protein can occur because of nonsense and missense mutations, as a result, the ability of the coded protein to perform its metabolic role is reduced, or can be completely unable to perform the role.
• A potential change in amino acid sequence in the protein can occur due to an uncorrected error in DNA transcription.
