Hemophilia, Gene and Proteins

What happens when the amino acid sequence coded by a gene is altered?

• This situation has never occurred.

• Nothing changes; the correct proteins are still made.

• A defective protein is produced, causing a mutation.

• The amino acid sequence is corrected by the lysosomes.
