-Refer to Table 8.2.If an indeterminate frameshift mutation occurred (that is,one at a random location) in the sequence of bases shown below,what would be the sequence of amino acids coded for? 3' ATTACGCTTTGC

A) leucine-arginine-lysine-alanine
B) asparagine-arginine-lysine-alanine
C) asparagine-cysteine-valine-serine
D) Translation would stop at the first codon.
E) The answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.
