Imagine a cell experiences an insertional mutation involving the addition of one or more nucleotides into the sequence of a gene in its chromosome. Which of the following insertional mutations would most likely have the least impact on the cell, i.e., change the structure (and thus function) of the resulting protein the least? An insertion of a single nucleotide An insertion of three nucleotides An insertion of two nucleotides Each of these mutations would have the same impact.
