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.
