The right option is; B)missense

This type of mutation can affect the function of the protein, and it is responsible for human diseases such as, sickle-cell anemia and Epidermolysis bullosa.

An autopsy, or necropsy, has been the gold standard for discovering the cause of death and examining disease in this regard for centuries.

An autopsy may be performed to determine the cause of death observe the effects of the disease and determine the course and mechanism of the disease.
