Antony Casey · Answer 1

The answers are A, C, E and F. A mutation in DNA can be dangerous if it is a deletion of an important section of DNA. It can be beneficial if when the protein is created, it is more efficient. The mutation could be neutral if it causes no change in the protein shape. Let it be understood though that just because the DNA mutated, doesn't mean the protein will change.
