What is the consequence of an insertion involving one or two base pairs in a gene's DNA?
What is the consequence of an insertion involving one or two base pairs in a gene's DNA?
- It results in the reduction of glycolipid buildup
- It causes frameshift mutation and disrupts the translation of the gene (correct)
- It leads to the production of abnormal enzymes
- It enhances the breakdown of glycolipids in lysosomes
