What feature makes organisms less vulnerable to small mutations in DNA replication that are not corrected?
A)alternative splicing
B)redundancy in the genetic code
C)differential gene expression
D)pleiotropy

Question

Redundancy in the genetic code means that multiple codons can code for the same amino acid, so small mutations in DNA replication that affect a single codon may not result in a change in the protein sequence. This can make organisms less vulnerable to deleterious effects of these small mutations.
