Question

identify the types of point mutations depicted. glycine glycine missense mutation nonsense mutation silent mutation done

Explanation:

A silent mutation is one where the change in the DNA sequence does not result in a change in the amino - acid sequence of the protein. Here, the original codon (GGC) and the mutated codon (GGA) both code for glycine. In a missense mutation, the amino - acid changes, and in a nonsense mutation, a stop codon is introduced prematurely. Since the amino - acid remains the same despite the base - pair change, it is a silent mutation.

Answer:

silent mutation
