How could an error during transcription affect the protein that is produced?
A.The Protein would have complementary base pairs
B.The Protein would be made of the wrong amino acids
C.The Protein would become too specialized
D.The Protein would become RNA polymerase

Respuesta :

Answer;

B. The Protein would be made of the wrong amino acids

Explanation;

  • Transcription is a process that takes place in the nucleus of a cell, which involves synthesis of messenger RNA from a molecule of DNA. The process is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
  • Messenger RNA or mRNA carries the genetic codes or the genetic information that is used to manufacture proteins through translation. This genetic information is organized in codons which determines the amino acids and thus determines the protein that will be synthesized.
  • Therefore, an error during transcription means a change in base pairs which means a change in the codons, and consequently a different amino acids which would then result to a different form of protein that is made from the wrong amino acids.
