Suppose that a mutation occurs in an intron of a gene encoding a protein. Explain what effect this mutation will have on the protein’s amino acid sequence?
Homework Answers
I believe the correct answer to be:
There will be NO EFFECT on the protein made from this sequence.
Because introns are ultimately spliced from the mRNA and hence are not used to create aminoacid chain. Only Exons are used as a template to create proteins.
feel free to leave a comment down below for any further query. good rating would be appreciated if you find my answer helpful. thank you.

The gene encoding protein Bog in E. coli has been changed by a point mutation in its open reading frame. Originally the gene encoded a 108 amino acid long functioning protein whose amino acid composition favored nonpolar and negatively charged amino acids. After the mutation it encodes a 110 amino acid long non-functioning protein that is now rich in polar uncharged amino acids and positively charged amino acids. Which mutation scenario best explains this observation. A) A frame-shift caused by...

5. A eukaryotic protein-encoding gene contains two introns and three exons: exon 1–intron 1–exon 2–intron 2–exon 3. The 5ʹ splice site at the boundary between exon 2 and intron 2 has been eliminated by a small deletion in the gene. Describe how the pre-mRNA encoded by this mutant gene would be spliced. Indicate which introns and exons would be found in the mRNA after splicing occurs
