A frameshift mutation involving insertion of one base pair in an exon may result in:
1. a protein product of lower molecular weight
2. loss of meiotic recombination of a gene
3. premature termination by RNA polymerase II
Why is the answer 1. only?
Me: Because #3 would create the problem (of the insertion) and not be stopped by it. #2 has little or nothing to do with transcription. And 1. doesn't really make sense, but it's the only answer left.
What's your reasoning? Do you agree with my above guess?
