Mendel's "wrinkled" mutation is due to a 800bp insertion of random sequence in the gene sbe1. what is the most likely effect?

Most likely this insertion disrupts the original SBE1 gene so that's it's not expressed. Whatever protein SBE1 makes is required for being round...when it's not expressed you get wrinkled.
