After a mutation at a genetic locus the character of an organism changes due to change in
(1) Protein structure (2) DNA replication
(3) Protein synthesis pattern (4) RNA transcription pattern
Sol. Answer (1)
Isn't option (3) more apt? Please explain why the ans is (1)
Dear student,
​Please find below the solution to the asked query
Mutation at a genetic locus results in a change of protein structure and not in the pattern of protein synthesis. This is because protein will be synthesised in the same way i.e. from mRNA, by the process of translation. Only the resultant structure of protein is disrupted due to change in one or more bases in a codon.
Hence, option (1) is correct.
