Question

When a gene mutation occurs, the nucleotides are in the wrong order which means the coded instructions are wrong and faulty proteins are made or control switches are changed.

Answer 1

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutation can be defined as any permanent alteration in the DNA base sequence of the genome of an organism, that is, a mutation is any change in the nucleotide sequence of the. DNA. This, in turn, can be of two types: By substitution of bases: alterations in the nucleotide sequence of a gene and two classes are known: transitions or transversions, and by loss or insertion of nucleotides: these are modifications where it can be losing or adding a nitrogenous base, which is important for encoding a specific protein and therefore changes the message of the genetic material.
