The Δ508 mutation causes the deletion of three bases from a polypeptide chain. Which statement about this mutation is accurate?
A. The polypeptide chain is unaffected by the mutation because the body can repair the mutation.
B. Because the pattern is in groups of three, the effect of the deletion on the polypeptide chain is minimal.
C. The deletion of the bases has no effect on the rest of the polypeptide chain.
D. In the polypeptide chain, the mutation could change every amino acid that follows the point of the mutation.

It is evolution, because we all have some of the same traits like eye color or shape or ears.

Where is the picture at

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
