In a mutant E. coli strain, there was a mutation in the malate dehydrogenase gene that resulted in a stop codon at amino acid position 14. From subcultures of this strain, a colony was obtained that was capable of making malate dehydrogenase. Your approach to examining this phenomenon should be to examine

A) the DNA sequence to see if a reversion has occurred. B) the DNA sequence to see if a suppresor mutation has occurred. C) other proteins to see if other stop codons are ignored, indicating the presence of a suppresor tRNA. D) the DNA and plasmids for the incorporation of a second complete copy of the malate dehydrogenase gene. E) all of the above
