How may mutations in each region affect gene expression? Mutation in any consensus sequence will cause mutations in the gene sequence. Mutation in any consensus sequence is likely to alter how efficiently a protein binds to the promoter. Mutation in the - 35 consensus sequence will cause premature termination. Mutation in the - 10 consensus sequence leads to nonspecific strong binding of proteins to the sequence.

Lam · Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Mutation in any consensus sequence is likely to alter how efficiently a protein binds to the promoter.

Explanation:

The consensus sequence is the order in which some nucleotides are repeatedly located in a specific location in a gene. Therefore, any change in these nucleotides could cause a mutation depending on how it's expressed, even if the mutation is not in an exon, introns can also cause noticeable alterations in the later phenotype.
