Question

Choose the explanation that correctly identifies "how a gene can be mutated?", but in the case with NO resulting change in the protein that is produced from that gene. Select one: a. RNA polymerase can edit the mutation from the mRNA produced during translation. b. The first nucleotide is not important, so there will be no change. c. A codon has changed, but it codes for the same amino acid as the original codon. d. This is impossible. All mutations (by definition) result in altered proteins.

          Choose the explanation that correctly identifies "how a gene can
be mutated?", but in the case with NO resulting change in the
protein that is produced from that gene.
Select one:
a. RNA polymerase can edit the mutation from the mRNA
produced during translation.
b. The first nucleotide is not important, so there will be
no change.
c. A codon has changed, but it codes for the same amino
acid as the original codon.
d. This is impossible.  All mutations (by definition)
result in altered proteins.
