On Further Reading, You Learn That Strains of H

On further reading, you learn that strains of H. influenzae vary genotypically. Many of them have silent mutations. Select the TRUE statement regarding this type of mutation.

A) It is a point mutation-a single base pair is altered, causing the change of one amino acid in the protein that changes the function of that protein.
B) It is a point mutation-a single base pair is altered, causing the change of one amino acid in the protein that stops the correct formation of a protein.
C) It is a point mutation-a single base pair is altered, causing the change of one amino acid in the protein that does not affect the function of that protein.
D) It is a frameshift mutation-base pairs are added or deleted, causing the change of one or more amino acids in the protein but does not affect the function of that protein.
E) It is a point mutation-several base pairs are altered, causing the change of many amino acids in the protein that completely changes the function of that protein.
