Question 6(1 point)

An original "codon" sentence is listed below.
The red fox sat on the big hat.
If the word "red" was removed from the sentence, what kind off effect would it have on the "amino acid sequence"?
а
rooo
It would cause a frameshift, and all of the amino acids after the deletion would be affected.
It would cause a frameshift, and all of the amino acids after the deletion would remain the same.
It would cause a silent mutation; no amino acids in the sequence would be affected.
There would be no mutation caused there would be no new affect.
It would cause a frameshift point mutation.

Answer 1

Answer: It would cause a frameshift point mutation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original codon: THE RED FOX SAT ON THE BIG HAT

Once RED is removed by deletion, the codon becomes THE FOX SAT ON THE BIG HAT.

As you can see, the new codon sequence has an entirely different amino acid sequence. Thus, its frame has shifted, and frameshift mutation is said to have occurred
