When mutations effect enzyme-coding genes, there may be less or none of the particular enzyme produced
When mutations effect enzyme-coding genes, there may be less or none of the particular enzyme produced. A common consequence is that the enzyme’s substrate is not converted into another substance, and can accumulate in cells, impairing their functioning and eventually causing their death. How do you think a cell’s functioning may be impaired when a substance abnormally accumulates in the cell?
