Answer:

a . Translation may not take place.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mRNA or messenger RNA holds the Exton which is the coded section of the RNA meant to be translated to protein. When a mismatch or miscopy of the strands takes place, the section becomes unfit for translation (the section is similar to the intron which is not coded for translation), hence, translation does not take place.
