Answer:

This results in alteration of polypeptide sequences of the protein ; resulting in wrong sequence of amino acids been coded for ; leading to translation of wrong amino sequence , wrong polypeptide chains being expressed and eventually wrong gene expression.

This is based on the fact that a gene is a length of DNA that codes for a particular polypeptide, therefore if this length is disrupted, then the polypeptide and protein been coded for will also be affected.

Answer:

the sequence of the protein's polypeptide would be altered consequently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remembering that genetic code is specific i.e. unambiguous. Translation is strictly codon specific and may be redundant. Any genetic alteration invariably affect the sequence of the resulting polypeptide.
