6. Explain why a deletion mutation (the b..oik05srdet99v ly removal of one base in the DNA base sepo jjrt:*u )t5quenroj 5)t*ut p:jce of a gene) is likely to produce a protein which is non-functional.
参考答案: Deletion mutation is the removal/loss of a base from the DNA base sequence.
Deletion mutations can also be the loss of part of a chromosome/longer sequence of DNA.
The deletion alters the mRNA produced from the DNA base sequence.
The mRNA sequence will be affected from the deletion to the end of the gene.
The loss of base(s) will change the codons/there will be a frame shift (in the reading of the codons). The frame shift will affect a sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
The change in sequence of the amino acids will change the shape of the protein/make the protein non-functional.
