Central Dogma Quiz

When an extra base is inserted into the DNA sequence of a gene, the protein doesn't work. Which explains why?

• the base increases rate of translation

• the base causes DNA to be transcribed in opposite direction

• the inserted base causes the codons in the sequence to be shifted and read differently

• the base signals enzymes to translate DNA rather than RNA
