What is the likely effect of a mutation that changes a single base in a gene compared to a mutation that inserts a single additional base? O
A Changing a single base will always change the amino acid specified by the codon. Inserting a base will not change the codon if it is
inserted between two codons.
O
B. Changing a single base will sometimes change the amino acid specified by the codon, but inserting a base will always change the single
amino acid specified by the codon that receives the insertion
c. Changing a single base will sometimes change the amino acid specified by the codon, but inserting a base is a frameshift mutation that will
change many of the codons that follow the point of insertion.
D. Changing only a single base will never change the amino acid specified by the codon, but inserting a base is a frameshift mutation that will
change many of the codons that follow the point of insertion
