11.

The mRNA sequence CAGAAAGAU codes for the amino acids Gln-Lys-Asp. A mutation occurs, and the resulting mRNA sequence is CAGAAGGAU. What type of mutation would this be?A) frameshift mutation caused by deletion because the removal of one nucleotide changed the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation B) point mutation because it only affects one amino acid C) frameshift mutation caused by insertion because the addition of one nucleotide changed the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation D) silent mutation because it has no affect on the amino acid sequence

  A
- B.
  
  B
- C.
  
  C
- D.
  
  D
12.
