Answer:

C) An extra chromosome is added, causing mismatching of the chromosome pairs.

Explanation:

Mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs.

According to the question, frameshift mutation is a mutation that causes the normal reading frame of the nucleotide sequence to be altered. It is caused when an extra chromosome is added (insertion) or when one chromosome is removed (deletion). In either way, there will be a mismatch or alteration in the chromosome pair, hence affecting the reading of the nucleotide sequence.

In frameshift mutation, the insertion or deletion causes the

normal CODONS (triplet nucleotide) to be missing or incomplete, hence, disrupts the manner at which the reading takes place (reading frame). Note, frameshift mutation only occurs as a result of insertion or deletion of chromosomes/bases that are not multiples of three that can maintain the normal reading pattern/frame.

Answer:

The correct answer would be C. The protein synthesized will contain many erroneous amino acids since the loss of one base will shift the reading of the encoded base sequence.

Deletion mutation that does not occur in the multiple of three bases can results in frame-shift mutation.

It changes the reading frame of nucleotide in DNA. Thus, the reading frame of codons in mRNA would also change.

Consequently, the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain would change or alter. Thus, a protein would contain many erroneous amino acids.

An example of the same is shown below in the image.
