Mutations are categorized by how the nucleotide sequence is changed. Insertions and deletions are called frameshift mutations. What is the relationship between the location of a frameshift mutation in a gene and its impact on the protein produced?
A) Frameshift mutations near the middle of the gene have the greatest effect on the protein produced.
B) Frameshift mutations near the beginning of the gene have the greatest effect on the protein produced.
C) Frameshift mutations near the end of the gene have the greatest effect on the protein produced.
D) A frameshift mutation at any location affects the protein produced equally
Ans: B) Frameshift mutations near the beginning of the gene have the greatest effect on the protein produced.
