Answer;
B) Translation may not take place
Explanation;
-mRNA or messenger RNA is a type of RNA that results from the process of transcription of DNA by an enzyme RNA polymerase, during the process that helps decode information on DNA to proteins.
-mRNA then undergoes the process of translation that takes place in the organelles called ribosomes where they are used to make specific proteins. Therefore if a sequence on mRNA is miscopied during transcription would result to the process of translation not taking place.
Answer: The correct answer is -
B) Translation may not take place.
Explanation:
mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced from DNA through a process called transcription. During this process, genetic information is transferred from DNA to mRNA with the help of enzyme RNA polymerase. mRNA is then converted to particular protein through translation ( that occurs at the site called ribosome).
If a sequence is miscopied in the mRNA, a long term effect of this on the cell could be that translation (that is formation of protein from mRNA) may not take place.
One of the reasons could be that the miscopied sequence may create a stop codon that will not enable the formation of original protein through miscopied mRNA.
Thus, option B) is the right answer.
