If a Mutation Occurs Such That Splicing Does Not Remove

If a mutation occurs such that splicing does not remove one of the introns in a gene, what effect will this have on the protein encoded by that gene?

A) It will have no effect; the gene will be transcribed and translated into protein.
B) Transcription will terminate early, and the protein will not be made.
C) Transcription will continue, but translation will stop at the site where the intron remains.
D) Translation will continue, but it is likely that a nonfunctional or aberrant protein will be made.
E) Translation will and will skip the intron sequence.
