I was trying to tag my fiancee in a picture and as I clicked post, I was directed to a page on Instagram that told me to put in my phone number for a security verify. The only problem is... I don't have a cell phone.
Point mutations in the coding region of DNA can have one of three consequences: 1) No effect if the mutated codon still codes for the same amino acid. 2) It can result in the protein having one different amino acid. The effect on protein function can vary from no effect to devastating diseases such as cycstic fibrosis.
Other mutations delete small amounts of DNA from the gene. Mutations in the TP53 gene lead to a version of p53 that cannot regulate cell growth and division effectively. Specifically, the altered protein is unable to trigger apoptosis in cells with mutated or damaged DNA.As a result, DNA damage can accumulate in cells.ther mutations delete small amounts of DNA from the gene.
