Q. A researcher is studying a novel gene involved in eye development in Drosophila. They isolate a mutant strain where a single nucleotide insertion has occurred in the first exon of this gene. When a heterozygous fly (one mutant allele, one wild-type allele) is observed, its eyes develop completely normally. Based on the provided principles of genetic mutations, which of the following statements best characterizes this mutation?

Q. A researcher is studying a novel receptor kinase involved in cell signaling. The functionally active form of this receptor is a homodimer that forms at the cell membrane upon ligand binding. The researcher isolates a mutant allele that produces a structurally altered, kinase-dead version of the receptor. When a heterozygous cell line (carrying one normal allele and one mutant allele) is generated, signaling is almost completely abolished, mimicking a null phenotype. Biochemical analysis reveals that the mutant protein is stably expressed and still binds to the normal protein.
