Mutations in the HFE gene lead to the absorption and storage of excess iron, damaging the liver, heart, and pancreas. The HFE protein is still produced, but does not function properly. B. Factor V Leiden thrombophilia is caused by a point mutation at position 1691 in exon 10 of the Factor V clotting factor gene that changes an arginine into a glutamine. This change removes one of the cleavage sites for activated protein C and leads to an increased tendency to clot. C.

The presence of the human genes in every cell of a pig embryo is evidence that the genes went through Select one: a. mRNA transcription b. DNA replication c. mRNA translation d.
