What type of mutation could create a stop codon by changing a single nucleotide to a different nucleotide? Question 6 options: silent mutation insertion mutation nonesense mutation missense mutation frameshift mutation
Added by William M.
Step 1
- Silent mutation: changes a nucleotide but does not change the amino acid. - Insertion mutation: adds one or more nucleotides, potentially causing a frameshift. - Nonsense mutation: changes a codon to a stop codon, terminating translation early. - Show more…
