Baby Frog #1 Is Homozygous for a Mutant Allele of Gene

Multiple Choice

Baby frog #1 is homozygous for a mutant allele of gene B (allele b¹) .Compare the DNA sequence from baby frog #1 with the wild-type sequence to determine how allele b¹ is different from the wild-type.What effect does the mutation in allele b¹ have on the protein?

A) Allele b¹ has a frameshift mutation-a deletion of one nucleotide resulting in a frameshift that changes all amino acids from that point on.
B) Allele b¹ has a deletion of one nucleotide outside of the coding region and there is not effect on the protein.
C) Allele b¹ has a missense mutation-a nucleotide substitution that changes one amino acid to another.
D) Allele b¹ has a nonsense mutation-a nucleotide substitution that forms a stop codon.
E) Allele b¹ has a nucleotide substitution that does not change the protein.
