Question

New alleles are produced when DNA is transcribed and translated to form a protein.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The new alleles can be a result of mutation and recombination, but not of transcription and translation process. The mutation and recombination process allows changes in the DNA sequence.

The process of transcription and translation only decodes information present in DNA to form proteins not to form new alleles.
