Proteins A,B,C, and D in the diagram are encoded by different genes and interact with each other. Imagine that a mutation in the gene for protein A changes one of the charged amino acid in the red circle area from positive to negative charge (blue arrow). this mutation results in a mutant phenotype. Assume a mutation in the gene for protein B occurs and the double mutants have a phenotype that is almost wild type. How would you best describe the mutation in gene B?

Transcribed Image Text:Proteins A,B,C, and D in the diagram are encoded by different genes and interact
with each other. Imagine that a mutation in the gene for protein A changes one of the
charged amino acid in the red circle area from positive to negative charge (blue
arrow). this mutation results in a mutant phenotype. Assume a mutation in the gene
for protein B occurs and the double mutants have a phenotype that is almost wild
type. How would you best describe the mutation in gene B?
