Answer 2

Most likely the consequence of this type of mutation is The gene would result in a shorter protein, possibly causing problems. Thus, option "A" is correct.

What is mutation?

Mutations are the change in the nucleotide sequence of genetic material due to substitution, deletion or insertion of the nucleotides leading to changed protein.

There are many types of mutations.

If a mutation causes no effect on the protein produced, it is known as the silent mutation. It is usually due to substitution of one nucleotide with the same type of nucleotide as in glycine glycine mutation.
