Question
Use the mutations interactive to determine which of the following are silent mutations. The adenine of the start codon is position +1. an A nucleotide is inserted at position +2 in the sense strand a substitution of a U nucleotide at position +9 in the antisense strand a single nucleotide deletion at position +12 in the antisense strand a subsitution from G to T in the arginine codon of the antisense stand a transversion of A in the histidine codon of the antisense strand a transversion at position +12 in the antisense strand Incorrect. At least one of your choices is not a silent mutation. Consider that a silent mutation does not change the encoded amino acid because the protein product translated remains the same. Mutations that alter the polypeptide sequence are called missense. Mutations that introduce a premature stop codon are called nonsense mutations. Frameshift mutations are the insertion or deletion that shift the reading frame of the redundant non-overlapping triplet code.Explanation / Answer
Option a, b, f are correct because silent mutation does not cause change in amino acid translation. so it does not effect the amino acid sequence.
