Question

the type of mutation where a single letter is changed and the protein sequence is not altered.
a. silent mutation
b. missense mutation
c. nonsense mutation
d. inversion
e. insertion
f. translocation
value: 11
the type of mutation where a single letter is added which results in altering every amino acid in the protein sequence after the addition.
a. missense
b. nonsense
c. silent
d. frameshift
e. inversion
f. translocation
value: 11
the type of treatment where an entire gene is inserted into the genome.
a. gene therapy
b. gene editing
c. genetic screening

Explanation:

• For the first question, a silent mutation changes a single - base but the protein sequence remains the same due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
• For the second question, a frameshift mutation occurs when a single - base is added or deleted, altering the reading frame and thus every amino acid in the protein sequence after the addition or deletion.
• For the third question, gene therapy involves inserting an entire gene into the genome to treat a genetic disorder.

Answer:

a. Silent Mutation
d. Frameshift
a. Gene Therapy
