How do silent mutations generally affect the function of the protein encoded by the mutated gene? They generally do not affect protein function They always result in a nonfunctional protein They always lead to a gain of function They always lead to a loss of function

The belief that rare mutations within a single cell allow it bypass growth barriers to become cancerous is called:   Question 10 options:   mutator hypothesis   passenger mutations   genomic instability   driver mutations   oncogenic stress

Mutations in DNA may or may not result in a change in the phenotype of an organism. In which of the following situations will a mutation appear in the phenotype of an individual? The mutation occurs in an organism which is past reproductive age The genetic code for protein synthesis has not been altered in a gamete producing cell The mutation occurs in a body cell of the organism, resulting in cancer O The mutation results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein in a gamete producing cell

Which of the following statements about the attempt to express a eukaryotic gene in bacteria is TRUE?   Choose an answer below: The eukaryotic promoter will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be capped. Expression of the gene will always yield a functional protein. The stop codon of the eukaryotic gene will function in the bacterial cells. The transcript will be spliced the same way as in eukaryotic cells.
