A mutated gene can cause:
1. An abnormal protein produced.
2. No protein produced.
These responses reflect common outcomes of genetic mutations. Mutations can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of proteins, resulting in abnormal proteins, or they can disrupt the gene entirely, leading to no protein being produced at all.
The other options regarding "no simple sugar produced" and "an abnormal simple sugar produced" are not direct consequences of gene mutations as they pertain to gene expression and protein synthesis rather than carbohydrate production.
