A mutation resulting in no change in the amino acid sequence of a protein is classified as A. Frameshift mutation B. Inversion mutation C. Silent mutation D. Deletion mutation E. Translocation mutation
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.
