Why don't some mutations to a DNA sequence have a significant effect on pheonotypic expression? (2 points)

A mutation may cause a change that codes for the same amino acid.

The transcription machinery can skip over the mutation in some cases.

Proteins are replicated so often that some mutations are not important.

A mutation may affect a DNA sequence but not affect resulting mRNA.
