Extra long proteins are likely to fold improperly and not function correctly. The overall health of the individual would be destroyed.

∙ 11y agoRNA polymerase would read the new nucleotide ( say, G instead of C ) and this would be the code for the mRNA leaving the nucleus and going to the ribosomes for translation. This new code could be neutral, but remember that one nucleotide difference in the code that effects the synthesis of a beta subunit in hemoglobin manufacture causes sickle cell disease. So, the change could be neutral, detrimental, or, occasionally ( in the right environment ), beneficial.

If a nucleotide pair were removed from a gene what would be affected?
Every pair in the sequence after that pair would be affected. Probably resulting in a mutation.
Why is it acceptable that translation and transcription errors are not corrected?
Only a single protein will be affected by an error.
Why is replication in experimental design?
Observed results are less likely to be affected by random chance.
Why is replication important and experimental design?
Observed results are less likely to be affected by random chance.
How many people were affected in the japan tsunami?
Over 10000 people where affected by the tsunami.
How would the transcription of eukaryotic gene be affected if a replication error changed the nucleotide sequence of the termination signal for that gene?
Extra long proteins are likely to fold improperly and not function correctly. The overall health of the individual would be destroyed.
How is DNA replication affected by a lack of mRNA?
Not at all. mRNA is not involved in DNA replication as it is involved in transcription and translation.
What happens to a cell if it lack the enzyme DNA polymerase?
Transcription would be affected because the binding of the enzyme RNA plymerase to the promoter of the gene is the first step of transcription.

How would RNA polymerase be affected if the repressor protein were not bound to the proper site on a gene?
it will prevent the transcription of rNA polymerase
What event will increase the frequency of a mutation in a population over time?
Mutation is the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, virus, or gene. A mutation can be caused by many factors like radiation and chemical exposure, inadequate nutrition, drastic changes in the environment, or an error in DNA replication. The frequency of occurrence of a particular mutation in the gene pool can be affected by drift, natural selection, sexual selection.
If someone was missing an amiono acid how would transcription and translation be affected?
whenever an amino acid is missing it means there is deletion mutation. deletion mutations have deleterious effects on the transcription and translation as the reading frame is disturbed causing a change in gene.
Why are so many varied phenotypes within a species such as human?
The phenotypes are affected by your enzymes since all metabolic activities of our bodies are down to enzymes.. Your Enzymes are proteins. They have been made from translation after transcription. Thus Your DNA got transcribed to make the enzymes.
