Question
### Genetic Mutations and Gene Expression **Quiz Question:** Mutations outside of the coding region of a gene can have an effect on the expression of the gene. - [ ] True - [ ] False *Explanation:* Mutations can occur in various regions of a gene, not just within the coding sequences (exons). These mutations outside of the coding region, such as in promoter regions or enhancers, can influence the expression levels of the gene. For instance, a mutation in a promoter region can reduce or completely block the binding of transcription factors, lowering the gene expression. Similarly, mutations in enhancer regions can disrupt the regulatory signals required for proper gene expression patterns. This question tests the understanding of the regulatory aspects of gene expression and the broader implications of mutations beyond the coding sequences. Choose 'True' if you believe mutations outside the coding region can indeed affect gene expression or 'False' if you think they cannot.
