SteveA mutation can alter the sequence of DNA, causing changes in the mRNA produced during transcription. This can result in the insertion, deletion, or substitution of amino acids in the protein sequence during translation. These changes can impact the structure and function of the protein, potentially leading to a non-functional or altered protein being produced.

Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
What is truncation mutation?
Truncation mutation is a type of mutation that results in the premature termination of the protein synthesis process. This leads to the production of a truncated or incomplete protein which may be nonfunctional. Truncation mutations can have serious consequences on the structure and function of the protein.
How can mutation affect protein synthesis in cell?
Mutations can make the protein synthesise incorrectly making diseases or weak parts in your body. Mutations can affect protein synthesis in cells by affecting the protein, messing up the whole DNA sequence and making the organism different from other average organisms.
How does a mutation change the events at the ribosome?
Mutations can alter the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which can affect the protein's structure and function. This can impact the protein's ability to interact with the ribosome and other molecules involved in protein synthesis, potentially leading to changes in the efficiency or accuracy of protein production.
The processes of transcription and translation are collectively known as?
