Answer:

d) a polypeptide missing an amino acid.

Explanation:

Deletion is a type of mutation when one or more codons from the reading frame are removed. This results in the production of a relatively shorter mRNA that lacks one or more codons otherwise present in the non-mutated mRNA. When there is a deletion of a single codon in the gene for cystic fibrosis, the resultant shorter mRNA codes for a polypeptide chain that does not carry one amino acid. For example, deletion of one codon results in deletion of a Phe  residue present at position 508 in CFTR. The mutated transmembrane protein CFTR folds in an improper way.

When animals undergo the process of cellular respiration, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And when animals die and start to decay aided by organisms called decomposers, carbon dioxide is also emitted into the atmosphere. When humans burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide yet again enters the atmosphere.
