Which of these types of substitution mutations would have no effect on the amino acid sequence and would not change the protein:
|
|
silent
|
|
|
missense
|
|
|
nonsense
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Silent mutation’.
Detailed explanation-2: -change a codon to one that encodes the same amino acid and causes no change in the protein produced. These are called silent mutations.
Detailed explanation-3: -A silent mutation is a mutation that results in the change of a codon without a change in the amino acid represented by the codon. Because of the redundancy of the genetic code, DNA base substitutions may not lead to the incorporation of an incorrect amino acid in the protein.
