Anormal strand of dna is shown below, followed by the same strand of dna after mutations have occurred. identify the mutation and the effect it would have on protein synthesis. a) this mutation is a point mutation resulting from a base substitution. this would results in the different reading of the one codon affected by the mutation, causing the substitution of a different amino acid in an otherwise unaltered protein. b) this mutation is a deletion mutation resulting in a frameshift. this would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. the protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional. c) this mutation is an addition mutation resulting in a frameshift. this would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. the protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional. d) this mutation is a substitution mutation resulting in a frameshift. this would result in a different reading of the codons following the mutation, causing a different translation from the original strand. the protein being created could be abnormally short, abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional.
