Question

What would happen if a cell transcribed and translated a gene's intron by mistake? (1 point)
• Additional amino acids would be inserted into the chain.
• The intron would begin to duplicate itself.
 Errors in the protein folding would be repaired.
• The DNA would remain the same as before.

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Additional amino acids would be inserted into the chain.

Explanation: Introns are normally spliced out of pre-mRNA; if an intron is retained and translated it contributes extra codons (and possibly stop codons), altering the amino acid sequence and likely disrupting protein function.
