what if the mutation was substitutions
You want to try again?
You didn't answer his question.
RNA polymerase is a protein enzyme, not a gene. Clarify.a mutation occures in the gene Rna polymerase.
a mutation occures in the gene Rna polymerase.
I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt...Oh dear, Idle Mind ... Don't play the troll's game. Just ignore the fool.
A deletion has taken place in the quoted sentence.
The deletion of a single word.
"For."

Fine, I won't. I'll go back to being blunt with you. I didn't say that your post contained doubt, but I was mistaken in thinking you wanted to learn something. I clarified something in Eloge's post, and you said it wasn't clear enough. Hence, I made an effort to clear it up for you even more.Don't do "me" any favors. I'm assuming you're referring to ELOGE1174's post. Nothing in what I posted has any "doubt." So who are you "giving the benefit of a ddoubt to"?
Praise the Lord!I'm not going to waste my time answering a muddled up unclear question
...oh. -.-except to give the most obvious-related answer.
Wrong. Your answer was needlessly complex. The question mentioned nothing of regulation. It specifically asked what the effect of deletion and substitution mutations in the RNA Polymerase gene would have.And that I did.
He didn't ignore regulation. Hercules answered the question perfectly, and thus your reply was completely unnecessary. If Eloge wanted to learn more, he would have asked, yes?Clearly, by ignoring regulation outright, your's was the foolish answer.
Okay, since most proteins are too large to pass into the cell through the cell membrane, each cell makes it's own proteins. Being that RNA Polymerase is such a protein (several proteins, in fact), the cell must create the RNA Polymerase from genes found along the DNA strand. If a mutation were to happen in part of the DNA strand that codes for RNA polymerase, then the resulting transcription product (mRNA) would be mutated, and thus the resulting translation product (protein) would also be mutated.
This is what he/she is referring to. There is a deleterious mutation in the DNA that codes for the RNA Polymerase. How's that?
