From the previous question regarding the insertion of an A base into the template strand: will this mutation affect the MRNA? it will make the MRNA one nucleotide longer (due to the insertion) it will prevent the MRNA from being made. it will result in a shorter mRNA because of the early stop codon

Template strand:
5'.GTCATCTTGACATTG... 3'
The same strand now has a single base insertion of an A, indicated in blue. What consequence will this have on the protein?
