A single base mutation in a gene may not always result in loss or gain of function. Do you think the statement is correct ? Defined your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A single base mutation in a gene may result in loss or gain of a gene and so a function.
E.g. : A change of single base pair in the gene for betaglobin chain that results in the change of aminoacid residue glutamate to valine. It results in a diseassed condition called sickle cell anaemia.
E.g. (2) Consider a statement that is made like a genetic code is - RAM HAS RED CAP. If we remove a latter .S. in HAS, it will be RAM HAR EDC AP.
