7 Questions
What type of mutation causes a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein without changing the amino acid coded for?
Silent substitution mutation
Which mutation type leads to the formation of a different protein due to an increase in the number of bases?
Insertion mutation
In which type of mutation does the number of bases decrease, leading to a shift in the reading frame and ultimately a different protein?
Deletion mutation
Which mutation type results in the premature termination of protein synthesis?
Non-sense substitution mutation
What type of mutation causes no change in the amino acid sequence despite altering the mRNA sequence?
Silent substitution mutation
Which mutation type can be described as 'unobserved' or 'silent' as it does not lead to any observable change in phenotype?
Silent substitution mutation
In which type of mutation does the number of bases increase without affecting the readout of the genetic code?
Silent substitution mutation
Test your knowledge on nonsense substitution mutation where one base in a sequence is substituted by another, leading to a change in the amino acid sequence and ultimately affecting the protein's function and phenotype.
