Question

A DNA codon that codes for a certain protein undergoes a substitution mutation. The new codon codes for the same amino acid as the original codon. What is the most likely effect of the mutation?(1 point)
Responses

The mutated codon produces a protein with the same amino acid sequence as the original codon and causes a disease because the protein does not function properly.

The mutated codon produces a different protein than the original codon and causes a disease because the protein does not function properly.
