Question: Suppose A Point Mutation, Such As A Change From An Adenine To A Guanine, Occurs In The Genome Of A Human Sperm Cell. The Mutation Could Occur In Any Region Of A Gene. The Effect Of The Mutation On The Phenotype Of The Offspring Will Be Determined By Where The Mutation Occurs And Its Effect On The Final Gene Product. Select All The Scenarios In Which …

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to aguanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. The mutationcould occur in any region of a gene. The effect of the mutation onthe phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where themutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. Selectall the scenarios In which the mutation most likely will alter thephenotype of the offspring?

a. The mutation occurs in the stop codon, resulting in a codonthat specifies an amino acid.

b. The mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid in thefinal protein is replaced with an amino acid that is chemicallysimilar.

c. The mutation occurs in a gene that controls development andalters differentiation of a cell type during development.

d. The mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of thefinal protein. e. The mutation occurs in a portion of an intron notresponsible for exon splicing.
