What happens when one allele of the gene encoding the type 1 collagen makes a protein that hinders proper helix formation?
What happens when one allele of the gene encoding the type 1 collagen makes a protein that hinders proper helix formation?
- The trimer containing that allele becomes functional
- The trimer containing two good copies of the protein becomes non-functional
- The trimer containing that allele becomes non-functional (correct)
- The trimer containing two good copies of the protein becomes functional
What is the likelihood of a protein originating from an allele containing a stop codon?
What is the likelihood of a protein originating from an allele containing a stop codon?
- It is likely to interfere with the good protein
- It is likely to be degraded very fast (correct)
- It is likely to hinder proper helix formation
- It is likely to form a functional trimer
