Question

Once the functional gene is inserted into the viral genome,


the functional protein will be produced.


The mutated DNA will be transcribed.


the mutated protein will be produced.


the non-functional protein will be produced.

Answer 1

Once the functional gene is inserted into the viral genome, the expected outcome is that **the functional protein will be produced**. This occurs because when the viral genome is transcribed and translated, the inserted gene will direct the synthesis of the corresponding protein, assuming that the gene is properly integrated and expressed within the host cells. If there are no mutations or issues with the gene's expression, the resulting protein should be functional.

If there's any additional context or specifics regarding the gene and viral system you're referring to, please share!
