Specifically, the gene with the sequence AUGCCCACCCGA undergoes a frameshift mutation. what sequences represents the mutated gene? == This isn't a very good question. If we're talking about gene sequences, we should be given a sequence of DNA, not an RNA. I think the desired response is this one: B.AUGACCCACCGA It has an insertion of an A after the first G. But later on, the frame is restored by a deletion of a C right before the second G.
