Detail the process involved in protein production, starting with the DNA sequence to the final protein product. Include descriptions of steps such as transcription, translation, etc.

Learning Goal: I’m working on a physics discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Complete your Week 2 discussion prompt.

Cystic fibrosis is genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. The consequence of this is production of an abnormal transmembrane protein that is responsible for producing sweat, mucus, and digestive fluids.

Thus, cystic fibrosis is one example of a genetic mutation and the impact that has on the process of protein synthesis and protein function.

For the prompt this week, explain in depth the correlation between a defective gene and the abnormal protein that is produced. Specifically:

1.Detail the process involved in protein production, starting with the DNA sequence to the final protein product. Include descriptions of steps such as transcription, translation, etc.

2.Why does a mutation in the DNA sequence lead to the production of an abnormal protein?

Provide details in your explanation and support your answer with facts from your textbook, research, and articles from scholarly journals. Remember to add references in APA format at the end of your post to avoid plagiarism.
