By changing a gene's instructions for making a protein, a variant can cause a protein to malfunction or to not be produced at all.
Which of the following is a mutation that changes the structure of the chromosome itself?Chromosomal alterations are mutations that change chromosome structure or number. They occur when a section of a chromosome breaks off and rejoins incorrectly or does not rejoin at all.
Which mutations cause a change in the shape and function of the resulting protein quizlet?Frameshift results from insertion or deletion, it alters the sequence of bases in codons at the mutation and after the mutation. This changes the amino acid sequence and resulting protein.
How can a mutation that causes a change in a protein's structure or function be beneficial to an organism?They lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. Beneficial mutations are essential for evolution to occur. They increase an organism's changes of surviving or reproducing, so they are likely to become more common over time.
