Questions and Answers

How does a nonsense mutation affect protein functionality?

  • Increases the protein's lifespan
  • Does not impact the protein's function at all
  • Enhances the functionality of the protein
  • Results in partial or complete loss of functionality (correct)

    • What is a nonsense mutation?

  • A mutation that enhances the functionality of the protein
  • A mutation that results in a change in the DNA sequence
  • A mutation that causes the cell to stop building protein prematurely (correct)
  • A mutation that alters the protein structure but does not affect its function

    • What does a shortened protein resulting from a nonsense mutation imply?
