Answer A)
The gene would not be transcribed. This is because the gene transcribing machinery would not be activated if the promoter sequence is not recognized. Transcription will not start.
Answer B)
The gene would not be transcribed. This will result in no RNA polymerase being formed. Hence, transcription and translation will not occur.
Answer C)
The mRNA would contain intron sequences, which would be translated into extra amino acids in the protein. A non- functional protein would be made.

Technically, it would create an identical copy of the parent cell, but with the answers you gave me, I would have to say the first response. Sexual reproduction provides half the genetic information, a half from one parent and a half from the other.
