Question
Which of the following is not a possible effect of a mutation?any of the above can occuradds a function to a proteinlowers the amount of a proteinprevents a protein from forming
Solution
The statement "any of the above can occur" is not a possible effect of a mutation. This is because it is not a specific outcome or effect, but rather a general statement that could apply to any situation. The other options - adding a function to a protein, lowering the amount of a protein, or preventing a protein from forming - are all specific effects that could potentially result from a mutation.
