Which of the following statements best describes the likely result of the mutation on the translation of the mRNA for the enzyme encoded by this gene?
A. One or two incorrect amino acids will be inserted into the protein
B. From the point of base insertion, total mistranslation will occur
C. mRNA translation will produce the same protein in both mutant and non-mutant strains
D. One or two amino acids will be omitted from the translation of the mutant mRNA resulting in a slightly truncated protein
