ANSWERS OPTIONS

Deletions or duplications that don't disrupt the reading of the dystrophin gene will result in a non-functional protein.

Frameshift mutations that include premature stop codons of the dystrophin gene will not affect the protein structure of dystrophin.

Females that carry the dystrophin mutation rarely express the disease.
