While characterizing a mutation in a gene of interest, you discover that the mutation involves an insertion within the coding sequence of the gene. You suspect that the inserted sequence is a transposon and would like to determine which of the three major transposon families it belongs to. What sequence elements could be looked for within the inserted sequence that would help place it in one of the three families?

How might a single base substitution in the sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the gene, and why? A - It is not possible for a single base substitution to affect protein structure, because each codon is three bases long. B- The amino acid sequence would be substantially altered, because the reading frame would change with a single base substitution. C - Only a single amino acid could change, because the reading frame is unaffected. D- All amino acids following the substitution would be affected, because the reading frame would be shifted.
