Which of the following pairs are correctly matched ? A. Missense mutation - Substitution of one amino acid for another B. Nonsense mutation - The altéred DNA sequence is a stop codon C. Frame shift mutation - The subsequent amino acids are altered D. Silent mutation - There is no change in the DNA sequence
Which of the following pairs are correctly matched ? A. Missense mutation - Substitution of one amino acid for another B. Nonsense mutation - The altéred DNA sequence is a stop codon C. Frame shift mutation - The subsequent amino acids are altered D. Silent mutation - There is no change in the DNA sequence Correct Answer A,B and C
Concept-
- A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light or alcoholic/smoking activities.
- The mutation is a phenomenon that results in alteration of DNA sequences and consequently results in changes in the genotype and the phenotype of an organism.
- In addition to recombination, mutation is another phenomenon that leads to variation in DNA.
- One DNA helix runs continuously from one end to the other in each chromatid, in a highly supercoiled form.

- Deletions and insertions of base pairs of DNA cause frame-shift mutations.
- The non-sense mutation causes accidental change into stop codons which cause the protein chain to be cut short.
- A missense mutation is when the change of a single base pair causes the substitution of a different amino acid in the resulting protein.
- A silent mutation is a form of mutation that does not cause a major change in the amino acid. But DNA sequence change.
Therefore option 1 is correct (A, B, and C).
