During replication, the DNA segment in a somatic cell undergoes the mutation seen here.
What type of mutation has occurred? If this DNA molecule proceeds to transcription and translation, explain the impact of this mutation on the production of a protein?
Responses
A This is a point mutation, resulting from the addition of one nitrogen base. This strand can no longer be used for transcription or translation due to its mutation.This is a point mutation, resulting from the addition of one nitrogen base.

B This is a frameshift mutation, resulting from the substitution of one nitrogen base. If this strand of DNA is used for transcription, it will result in all of the amino acids being placed incorrectly in the protein.This is a frameshift mutation, resulting from the substitution of one nitrogen base.

C This is a frameshift mutation, resulting from the addition of one nitrogen base. This strand can no longer be used for transcription or translation due to its mutation. If this strand of DNA is used for transcription, it will affect the coding of multiple amino acids, causing an incorrect protein to be assembled.This is a frameshift mutation, resulting from the addition of one nitrogen base.

D This is a point mutation, resulting from the substitution of one nitrogen base. If this strand of DNA is used for transcription, it will affect the coding of ONE amino acid, resulting in placing the correct amino acid in the protein, placing the wrong amino acid in the protein, or coding for the protein to stop building.
