Questions and Answers

What is the result of a premature stop codon?

  • Inactivation of a gene
  • Formation of a functional protein
  • Production of a truncated protein (correct)
  • Overexpression of a gene

What is the typical outcome of a truncated protein?

  • The protein is highly functional
  • The protein is non-functional (correct)
  • The protein is overexpressed
  • The protein is partially functional

What is the effect of a premature stop codon on gene expression?

  • It has no effect on gene expression
  • It decreases the expression of a gene
  • It increases the expression of a gene
  • It leads to the formation of a truncated protein (correct)
