Answer 2

Answer is option a "Whether it will mutate"

Explanation:

• The main concern of scientists in the case of genetic engineering is the mutation of the gene inserted in an organism.

• The mutation is a random process that can occur spontaneously and as a result of replication errors.

• These are inheritable if occur in germ cells.  
• Mutation of a gene can result in the production of an altered protein which may have lost its function. in adverse cases, the altered protein can even hamper the normal functioning of an organism.
