A student is creating a computer model to show the result of a change in the structure of a gene.

To outline the process that occurs from a change in the structure of a gene, we can follow these steps in order:

1. **Mutation** occurs in the gene's DNA sequence.
2. **Transcription** takes place, where the altered DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).
3. **Translation** occurs, where the mRNA is translated into a protein sequence.
4. The **resulting protein** may have altered function or activity due to the change in the gene structure.

Using the structure you've provided for the response area, the correct order would look like this:

- **Step 1:** Mutation occurs in the gene's DNA sequence.
- **Step 2:** Transcription takes place, where the altered DNA is transcribed into mRNA.
- **Step 3:** Translation occurs, where the mRNA is translated into a protein sequence.
- **Step 4:** The resulting protein may have altered function or activity due to the change in the gene structure.

This would fill the blanks in the response area provided.
