Answer:

a) Yes

b) Yes

c) Yes

Yes mutant site will be expected. It will transcript-ed as well and it can be a polypeptide depending on the mutation type.

b. In the intron?

Yes mutant site will be expected. It will be transcript-ed as well and it cannot be a polypeptide

c. In the promoter?

Yes mutant site will be expected. It will not be transcript-ed and it cannot be a polypeptide

d. In the intron-exon boundary?

Yes mutant site will be expected. It will be transcript-ed and it cannot be a polypeptide
