Question

If a functional gene is disrupted while disrupting a restriction site _______ is created.

(a) frameshift mutation

(b) point mutation

(c) either of the mutations

(d) any other kind of mutation

I have been asked this question during an online exam.

I want to ask this question from Removal and Introduction of Restriction Sites and Generation of Insertions and Deletions in section Modifications and Mutagenesis of Genetic Engineering

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) frameshift mutation

Easy explanation: If a functional gene is disrupted while disrupting a restriction site, a frameshift mutation would be created. As it is created, the gene might become dysfunctional.
