A mutation removes a single base pair within the coding sequence of a gene and inactivates the protein encoded by the gene. Such a mutation is a. a silent mutation b. a missense mutation c. a nonsense mutation d. a frameshift mutation e. both b and c.
When a mutation occurs by elimination of one base in a DNA sequence, this mutation is called a
