Proteins are responsible for many of our traits. How can a substitution mutation affect a person’s traits? a This mutation causes a change in the protein that forms during translation. b This mutation prevents ribosomes from synthesizing proteins. c This mutation stops DNA from replicating. d This mutation changes the number of chromosomes a person has.



Answer :

Proteins are responsible for many of our traits.  substitution mutation affect a person’s traits by  inhibiting DNA from replicating. Thus option c is correct.

What is mutation ?

Mutations are defined as  the change in the nucleotide sequence of genetic material due to different process such as substitution, deletion or insertion of the nucleotides leading to changed or faulty protein.

The type of mutations leads to the early and delayed termination of the transcription of a gene, mutation of a single nucleotide leads to termination of transcription otherwise called as nonsense mutation.

If a mutation shows no effect on the protein, known as the silent mutation.
