A mutation occurs in a cell. Which sequence best represents the correct order of the events involved for this mutation to affect the traits expressed by this cell

Answer: A change in the sequence of DNA bases--> Joining amino acids in sequence - -> Appearance of characteristics

Explanation:

A mutation is a permanent shift or change from the normal DNA sequence that makes up a gene and affect traits which makes the sequence becomes different from what is commonly found in people. Mutations vary from distortion of a single DNA building block to a large segment of a chromosome.

When mutation occurs in a cell, for the mutation to affect the traits expressed by the particular cell, it must follow this sequence directly:

A change in the sequence of DNA bases--> Joining amino acids in the sequence - -> Appearance of characteristics.
