Question 2
How might a deletion mutation in a gene affect the translation of that gene?

The mutation would not allow DNA to exit the cytoplasm.

The mutation would prevent amino acids from being brought to the ribosome during translation.

The amino acids would not be the right shape. They would not be able to assemble to form proteins.

The mutation would cause a different sequence of amino acids to be brought to the ribosome during translation.

What is DNA?

a type of molecule composed mostly of amino acids
a type of molecule that performs the main functions of cells
a type of molecule that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction
