B.
Deleterious effect
C.
Good effect
D.
Both A and B
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Generally the mutations have both Lethal and Deleterious effects.
Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious.
In general, the more base pairs that are affected by a mutation, the larger the effect of the mutation, and the larger the mutation's probability of being deleterious.
