    Answer: An error during transcription could produce a shorter protein or induce changes in the protein's sequence.

    Explanation: Transcription is the process of single-stranded RNA synthesis from a DNA template (gene). During this process, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthetize RNA, keeping the sequence. The RNA sequence will be reading later by ribosomes and protein will be produced. An error in transcription could produce changes in codons that are sequences of 3 nucleotides that determine aminoacids of the protein, and that would change protein folding and inactive it. Another possible result would be that error in transcription produce a premature stop codon that cause a shorter inactive protein.
