Mutations are permanent changes in the nucleotide sequence in DNA. A point mutation is the loss or gain of a single nucleotide. If a nucleotide was lost from the DNA sequence, how would this affect subsequent transcription and translation of that gene?

Define mutation. Understand classification of major types of mutations.

Which of the following apply to transcription: Synthesis of a chromosome using DNA polymerase that produces two new chromosomes O Synthesis of a DNA molecule using RNA polymerase that produces multiple genes O Synthesis of a mRNA molecule using DNA polymerase that produces protein O Synthesis of a mRNA molecule using RNA polymerase that is a copy of a gene O Synthesis of a protein from a specific mRNA molecule that requires a ribosome
