Question

Which event(s) would be likely to produce a nonfunctional protein from gene X?

replacing a ser AGC codon with a ser AGU codon in same position in the coding region for gene X

imprecise splicing of RNA in the nucleus that removes part of an exon of gene X

the ribosome initiates translation one base out of frame

the deletion of an enhancer sequence for gene X

all of the above

b and c

a and d

a.)

replacing a ser AGC codon with a ser AGU codon in same position in the coding region for gene X

b.)

imprecise splicing of RNA in the nucleus that removes part of an exon of gene X

c.)

the ribosome initiates translation one base out of frame

d.)

the deletion of an enhancer sequence for gene X

e.)

all of the above

f.)

b and c

g.)

a and d

Explanation / Answer

Imprecise splicing of RNA in the nucleus that removes part of an exon of gene X and the ribosome initiates translation one base out of frame, these two would be likely to produce a nonfunctional protein from gene X.

Hence, the correct option is (f) b and c.
