DNA insertion mutation consequences? Protein and mRNA length?
We have a 1000 base pair insertion in some gene.
Consequences?
The mRNA is longer by 1000 base pairs.
1)The same amount of mRNA is transcribed. Why isn't it more?
Protein may be longer or shorter depending on start/stop codons altered.
Probably causes non-functional protein.
2) The same amount of protein is translated. Why is it the same amount?
Should I interpret the meaning as 1 mRNA strand created and 1 protein is synthesized? Not the size?
1 mRNA molecule and 1 protein synthesization is correct.
