incorrect answer(s)

Explanation:

A mutation in a gene can cause changes in the mRNA sequence (since mRNA is transcribed from the gene). Changes in mRNA can lead to changes in the protein sequence (as mRNA is translated to form the protein). Changes in the protein sequence can result in a change in the protein's shape (as the sequence determines the folding and structure). A mutation in the gene for protein X specifically affects that gene and its products (mRNA and protein X), not other genes that regulate protein X production.

Answer:

change in shape of the gene's protein, change in the sequence of the gene's protein, change in the sequence of the gene's mRNA
