Chromosomes contain genes, and genes determine an organism's characteristics. Sometimes mutations occur in which the sequence of nucleotides within a gene becomes altered. Which of the following describes how a gene mutation would most likely affect an organism? A.
It would cause different proteins to be produced during translation.
B.
It would cause the sugar-phosphate backbone of all of the organism's DNA to be modified.
C.
It would cause the codons produced to be more or less than 3 nucletoides in length.
D.
It would cause the wrong type of nucleic acid to be incorporated into the organism's genes.

Astudent completed a lab report. which correctly describes the difference between the “question” and “hypothesis” sections of her report? “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states the result of her experiment. “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states what she thinks the answer to that question is in “if . . then . . because” format. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states the procedures and methods of data collection. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and “hypothesis” states any additional information or prior knowledge about the question.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. the mutation could occur in any region of a gene. the effect of the mutation on the phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where the mutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. in which of the following scenarios could the mutation alter the phenotype of the offspring? select all of the scenarios that apply the mutation occurs in the promoter and affects the rate of gene transcription. the mutation results in a new, dominant allele the mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing the mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development. the mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein e mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid sequence of the final protein is unchanged.
