Which of the following determines how the resulting protein will be affected by this mutation? O Any change in amino acid will determine that the polypeptide chain will not be able to fold into its proper structure. O The change in amino acid will determine that a nonsense mutation has occurred and not all amino acids will be added to the polypeptide chain.

Question
During translation, this mutation results in a change from
the amino acid aspartic acid to the amino acid alanine.
Which of the following determines how the resulting
protein will be affected by this mutation?
O Any change in amino acid will determine that the
polypeptide chain will not be able to fold into its proper
structure.
The change in amino acid will determine that a
nonsense mutation has occurred and not all amino
acids will be added to the polypeptide chain.
O The properties of the amino acids will determine
whether the interactions within the protein will affect
the folding of the polypeptide chain.
The substitution of the DNA nucleotide will determine
whether there is a change in the folding of the
polypeptide chain forming the protein.
