Concept explainers
a.
To determine: The consequences when a mutation occurs in the promoter region of the gene such that it does not bind RNA polymerase.
Introduction: A gene is a sequence of the DNA which encodes for certain enzymes which are required for the functioning of the body.
b
To determine: The consequences when a mutation occurs in the gene which encodes for RNA polymerase, such that the enzyme is not made
Introduction: The DNA sequences are transcribed to form mRNA and the mRNA is further translated into proteins. These proteins fold into required structures to form functional enzymes.
c.
To determine: The consequences when a mutation alters the intron splice site.
Introduction: These proteins fold into required structures to form functional enzymes after post-translation modifications.
