Question

how could an error during transcription affect the protein that is produced?
a. the protein would become rna polymerase.
b. the protein would be made of the wrong amino acids.
c. the protein would have complementary base pairs.
d. the protein would become too specialized.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA. Errors in transcription can lead to incorrect mRNA sequences. Since the mRNA sequence determines the sequence of amino - acids in a protein during translation, an error in transcription can cause the protein to be made of the wrong amino - acids. RNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in transcription, not a result of a transcription error in protein production. Proteins do not have complementary base pairs (nucleic acids do). And there is no connection between transcription errors and a protein becoming "too specialized".

Answer:

B. The protein would be made of the wrong amino acids.
