Multiple Choice

A mutation in a gene stops it from functioning, but a plant continues to function the same. How could this be?

• The other copy of the gene works as normal.

• The plant borrowed a working gene from a neighboring plant.

• Plants can change their genes back to the original version when it suits them.

• The mutation did not change the RNA.
