What effect does this have on the protein? Transposons can do these, EXCEPT: Interrupt coding sequence in a gene cause mutations increase protein trafficking Alter transeription of downstream genes

Nonsense mutations in the coding sequence of a gene introduce a premature stop codon, resulting in the production of a truncated protein or no protein at all. This can have various effects on the functionality of the protein, depending on its function. It may render the protein non-functional, disrupt its structure, or affect its stability.
