A mutation is least likely to affect a cell when the mutation-

• Reverses the order of bases in a DNA strand

• Allows the total number of bases in a DNA sequence to remain the same

• Replaces a base with its complementary base

• produces a triplet that codes for the same amino acid as the original triplet
