Question

A mutation occurs such that a spliceosome cannot remove one of the introns in a gene. What effect will this have on that gene?

Answer 1

Translation is the process by which protein product will form from the RNA molecule with the help of enzymes and protein. The three important process of translation are initiation, elongation and termination.

The mutation that prevent the removal of spliceosome from the intron, the introns will reside within the exons. The translation of this type of RNA a non dunctional protein product can be formed due to the insertion of the introns within the exon sequence.
