You discover a mutation consisting of a two base insertion in the front half of a gene you are studying. The amino acid sequence after the insertion of the protein expressed from the mutant gene is completely different when compared to the amino acid sequence expressed from the un-mutated version of the gene. The mutation is most likely a/an: Frame-shift mutation Missense mutation Silent mutation Nonsense mutations

QUESTION 12 A mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein is called a silent mutation. QUESTION 13 An insertion of three nucleotides into the coding sequence of a gene will result in a polypeptide three amino acids longer than the normal polypeptide.
