Detailed explanation-1: -These are called silent mutations. change an amino-acid-coding codon to a single “stop” codon and cause an incomplete protein. This can have serious effects since the incomplete protein probably won’t function.
Detailed explanation-2: -A gene mutation (myoo-TAY-shun) is a change in one or more genes. Some mutations can lead to genetic disorders or illnesses.
Detailed explanation-3: -It includes your DNA, genes and chromosomes. Several factors cause genetic conditions, including: Mutation of one gene (monogenic). Mutation of multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance).
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: (e) Insertion of one nucleotide is most likely to drastically affect a protein’s sequence. Insertion/deletion of any number of nucleotide/s (except in the multiple of three) will result in the mutation refer to as a frame-shift mutation.
