MCQ
Gene mutations are those which involve:
  • A
    The change in nature and sequence of base triplets of DNA
  • B
    The change in genome
  • C
    The change in all the genes
  • D
    The disappearance of certain part of chromosome

Answer

  1. The change in nature and sequence of base triplets of DNA

Explanation:

Gene's transcription and translation produces a protein which has a specific function to perform. Also, a protein is a chain of amino acids. These amino acids are coded by codons or base triplets. Each codon will code for a particular amino acid. Change in sequence of these base triplets/ codons (due to mutation) will lead to code of different amino acid and ultimately it will lead to a different protein which may be functional or non-functional.
