Molecular Basis of Inheritance question

2004 · Q67

NEETBiologyMolecular Basis of InheritanceMCQ+4 / −1
After a mutation at a genetic locus the character of an organism changes due to the change in :-
  1. A
    Protein synthesis pattern
  2. B
    RNA transcription pattern
  3. C
    DNA replication
  4. D
    Protein structure
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

Change in genetic locus, changes the gene and in turn the amino acid it codes for. This alters the nature of protein synthesized which produces change in the organism. DNA replication is not affected neither the method of protein synthesis. Synthesis of RNA over DNA template is called transcription.
