The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Which of the following mutations is most likely to cause a phenotypic change?
A) a duplication of all or most introns
B) a large inversion whose ends are each in intergenic regions
C) a nucleotide substitution in an exon coding for a transmembrane domain
D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
E) a frameshift mutation one codon away from the 3' end of the nontemplate strand
Answer: D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site
Explanation:
Deletion or insertion of a single nucleotide in an axon coding for an active site is called frameshift mutation.
The sequence of codons is read during translation, in order to synthesize a amino acids chain and form a protein from the nucleotide sequence. Frameshift mutations occur when the usual codon sequence is broken by the deletion or addition of one or more nucleotides. For example, if only one nucleotide is removed from the axon sequence during the RNA splicing process, then there will be a disrupted reading frame for all codons before and after the mutation. This may result in several incorrect amino acids being introduced into the protein. Disruption in protein sequence will cause phenotypic change.
Hence, the correct option is D) a single nucleotide deletion in an exon coding for an active site

Explanation:
The large fish will most likely eat most of the white fish, and there will only be gray fish left. Since the large fish can't see the gray fish well, they catch some but quickly starve because of the lack of white fish. In the end, only gray fish are left.
Answer:
Scientists need instruments to measure the world. Instruments and sensors are needed to collect data - that takes engineering to design and build them.
Explanation:
Answer:
<h2>Genotype, sequence, mRNA, cytoplasm, proteins, phenotype</h2>
Explanation:
The allele combination at a gene locus is known as an organism's genotype, which after expression define the phenotype of that organism.
Th sequence of nucleotide in the DNA then transcribed to produce mRNA by RNA polymerase. Then mRNA exported into the cytoplasm and works as template for the synthesis of protein. This protein defines the phenotype of that organism.
