Question

true or false: all gene mutations that have an effect on a cell or organism alter the structure and function of the protein encoded by the gene.

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: While some gene mutations can have an effect on the structure and function of the protein encoded by the gene [1], not all gene mutations have this effect. Some gene mutations may have no effect on the structure and function of the protein, while others may result in changes that are beneficial or even necessary for the organism to survive.
