Detailed explanation-1: -An uncorrected error in DNA transcription can lead to a potential change in amino acid sequence in the protein produced from the transcription. If any change in amino acid sequence does occur, it could either result in a disadvantage to the organism or may result in an advantage.
Detailed explanation-2: -However, errors that occur during transcription and translation can also have substantial effects on gene function by producing misfolded and malfunctioning proteins. The rate of translation errors is typically an order of magnitude higher than the rate of transcription errors (1–6).
Detailed explanation-3: -When Replication Errors Become Mutations. Incorrectly paired nucleotides that still remain following mismatch repair become permanent mutations after the next cell division. This is because once such mistakes are established, the cell no longer recognizes them as errors.
Detailed explanation-4: -During protein synthesis, mistakes are generally thought to occur at a rate of about 1 in every 20, 000 amino acids, although levels can be higher or lower depending on the conditions2, 3.
Detailed explanation-5: -The production of a non-functioning protein is the correct option. Explanation: Non-functioning protein is most likely to be an effect of an error that occurred during transcription.
