I can’t tell which answer is correct without seeing the sequence/image or a description of the change. Please upload the figure or tell me what changed in the DNA/protein.
Quick help to choose:
- Substitution = one base replaced by another (can be silent, missense, or nonsense). Example: sickle‑cell (Glu → Val) is a substitution.
- Insertion or deletion = one or more bases added or lost. If the number of bases added/deleted is not a multiple of three, the reading frame shifts → frameshift (usually severely disrupts the protein). If the number is a multiple of three, it’s an in‑frame insertion/deletion (removes/adds whole codons, less dramatic).
If you describe the mutation (how many bases changed and which), I’ll say which choice is correct.
