which of these mutations will have an effect on the protein produced by the gene in which the mutation occurs? select all that apply.

Answer :

Missense mutations will have an effect on the protein produced by the gene.

A missense mutation is a DNA alteration that causes the protein produced to encode a different amino acid at a specific location. Some missense mutations change how the resulting protein functions. When a mistake is made in the DNA coding, one of the base pairs is altered; for instance, A is switched out for C. This one modification, known as a substitution, causes the DNA to now encode for a new amino acid. Missense mutations don't always result in noticeable protein alterations. A neutral, "silent," or conservative mutation is when an amino acid is switched out for one with extremely comparable chemical characteristics even if the protein may still function normally as a result.

Hence, change in the codon result alternation in the protein structure and function.
