What effects do mutations have on organisms? O All mutations are harmful because they disrupt protein function or gene regulation % All mutations are beneficial to organisms because they improve protein function or gene regulation All mutations have no effect on organisms, because they do not significantly affect protein function or gene regulation Some mutations are harmful, some are beneficial, and some have no effect on the organism

You suspect a protein that is being expressed has been affected by a mutation. When you examine the fully functional protein you find curiously that it still has retained all of its overall function. A friend of yours doing research with you assures you when examining the genetic data a new mutation does in fact exist in this protein. What is the most likely type of mutation that occurred based on this information? Group of answer choices frameshift mutation silent mutation nonsense mutation
Mutations in DNA may or may not result in a change in the phenotype of an organism. In which of the following situations will a mutation appear in the phenotype of an individual? The mutation occurs in an organism which is past reproductive age The genetic code for protein synthesis has not been altered in a gamete producing cell The mutation occurs in a body cell of the organism, resulting in cancer O The mutation results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the protein in a gamete producing cell
