suppose a mutation happened within an intron of a gene. could this affect the gene's expression? why or why not?

Respuesta :

An intron mutation would have no impact on a protein's amino acid sequence unless it happened inside the 5′, 3′, or branch point splices, which are eliminated before translation.

Would the expression of a gene be impacted by an intron mutation?

A point mutation or even a sizable deletion in the intron would probably not appreciably lower the expression of the gene unless splicing was affected since the intron regions that affect mRNA accumulation are redundant and scattered.

What takes place if an intron is altered?

a genetic change in the DNA sequence that takes place at the exon-intron boundary (splice site).
