Question

drag and drop each description to match it with the correct type of mutation. nonsense mutation missense mutation frameshift mutation silent mutation a change in one base - pair of dna that leads to a premature stop of translation and a shortened protein. a change in one base - pair of dna that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein. a change in one base - pair of dna that does not change the amino acid at that position in the protein. a change in one base - pair of dna that changes the reading frame and the sequence of subsequent amino acids.

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation causes premature stop - translation and shortens protein. Missense mutation substitutes one amino - acid for another. Silent mutation doesn't change the amino - acid at a position. Frameshift mutation changes the reading frame and subsequent amino - acid sequence.

Answer:

• nonsense mutation: A change in one base - pair of DNA that leads to a premature stop of translation and a shortened protein.
• missense mutation: A change in one base - pair of DNA that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein.
• silent mutation: A change in one base - pair of DNA that does not change the amino acid at that position in the protein.
• frameshift mutation: A change in one base - pair of DNA that changes the reading frame and the sequence of subsequent amino acids.
