Shown is part of the coding strand of the HBB gene involved in sickle cell disease. What will be the effect on the resulting peptide of a deletion of the two nucleotides shown in bold/underline? 5' CTG ACT CCT GAG GAC 3' a) A change from glutamic acid to valine will occur b) The deletion will not result in a change to the polypeptide c) A nonsense mutation will occur d) The polypeptide will be missing one amino acid, but the reading frame will be preserved
