A translocation mutation results in a silencer being inserted just upstream of the promoter of a gene (Gene X). How would you predict the expression of gene X be affected by this mutation? Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will not be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor protein Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation Gene X will be expressed in any cell that has this mutation and the appropriate repressor protein
