Question

What are mutations and how can they affect proteins

Answer 1

Mutations are changes in the traits of the DNA and the effects can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene.

substitution occurs when one or more base pairs take place of other base pairs in the gene sequence.

insertion occurs when one or more base pairs are added to the gene sequence.

deletion occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from the gene sequence.

Answer 2

I just finished the assignment on Edg and I'll just copy and paste what I wrote.

A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. The shape of a protein can change when a mutation occurs. The shape of a protein can change the way a protein functions. There are multiple different mutations that can change the way a protein functions: an insertion mutation, a deletion mutation, and a substitution mutation. Changes that a mutation may cause can be either beneficial, harmful, or neutral.

Further help if you only want inspiration for your answer

Edg asks for what you included in your response.

The certain details are:

-Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence of a gene.

-Mutations can affect the shape of the protein that is produced.

-A change in the shape of the protein affects the function of the protein, which may affect the trait that is seen.

The sample response on Edg is a combination of all the above in the order that they are given, make sure to include them in your answer.

I hope I helped!

Have a good morning/afternoon/night and make sure to take care of yourself by eating, drinking water, and getting adequate rest.
