which events are potential effects of a point mutation within a protein coding gene? an extra sequence of amino acids is inserted in a protein, but the protein still functions. a nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide, but the amino acid sequence remains the same. a segment containing many nucleotides is added, and the amino acid sequence changes. an incorrect amino acid is placed in a protein, and it affects how the protein functions. a nucleotide is used in place of another, and the change results in a stop codon.
