It is possible for a mutation to occur and yet not alter the end product of translation if
A) the RNA polymerase skips over the mutated area.
B) the new codon encodes the same amino acid.
C) a deletion mutation removes the entire codon.
D) the mutation affects the active site of the protein product.

Question
