Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transcription occurs at a rate of around 1000x per second alone in a single-cell. Errors in these processes are typically checked and corrected by special enzymes. However errors in DNA transcription can result in protein synthesis with deleted amino acids which at best can be harmless. At worst, the deletion (or defective synthesis) of proteins can create fatal cancers through localized cell mutations.
If selective pressure changed and the recessive gene was selected for, individuals carrying the recessive gene would have a higher chance of surviving and reproducing, leading to an increase in the frequency of that gene in the population. Over time, this could result in the recessive gene becoming the dominant trait in the population.
answer sh*t please smart people
The mutated gene codes for a protein that cause a new trait
protein that is a product of expression of a gene that was mutated.
If a boy inherits an autosomal recessive disease, he would have inherited one copy of the mutated gene from each of his parents. The mother is a carrier, meaning she has one copy of the mutated gene but does not show symptoms of the disease. When both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that the child will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and have the disease.
mutated
A mutated gene is just a gene that doesn't have the correct DNA or alleles.. Depending of the human disorder the gene that is mutated will be different... We use genes throughout our bodies but ALL genes can cause human disorders but there is NO single gene that, when mutated, creates ALL genetic modification...
The specific sequence of the new mRNA strand produced by a mutated gene will depend on the nature of the mutation. Mutations can cause changes in the coding region of the gene, leading to alterations in the mRNA sequence and potentially affecting the resulting protein or gene function. Further analysis and sequencing of the mutated gene would be required to determine the exact mRNA sequence.

Most mutations in eukaryotes are recessive because they typically involve changes in a single gene, and the presence of a normal copy of the gene can often mask the effects of the mutated gene. This means that the mutated gene is only expressed when both copies of the gene are mutated, resulting in a recessive trait.

The gene would most likely have the hydrogen bases matched with the wrong hydrogen bases, such as A and G, or C and A, or T with G, or T with C.
