the sequence is a hypothetical segment of a dna with an indicated mutation represented by an arrow. what is the outcome of this mutation with regard to the ultimate protein that will form from this sequence? nothing. this mutation does not affect a coding region. the protein will be unchanged. an alternative splice site is formed. two proteins of different lengths will be produced. the corresponding amino acid is altered. the protein will be changed. this is a nonsense mutation. the protein will be truncated early and likely be nonfunctional.
