Which of the following best describes a silent mutation?Question 3Answera.A single nucleotide change that does not alter the amino acid sequence of the protein.b.A mutation that creates a premature stop codon, leading to a truncated protein.c.The insertion or deletion of a nucleotide that shifts the reading frame of the genetic code.d.A single nucleotide change that results in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein.

A mutation in a base in DNA that does not result in an amino acid change in the protein is called a__________ mutation. A) silent B) deletion

In a "silent" mutation, theMultiple Choicecodon that mutates causes a change in the amino acid specified.codon that mutates does not cause a change in the amino acid specified.codon that mutates causes a stop codon to occur instead of the placement of an amino acid.mutation does not occur in a codon.mutation is not in DNA.

A silent mutation is highly unlikely to affect protein because:Select one:a. The dominant allele can compensate for the silent mutationb. It does not cause a frameshiftc. Multiple codons can code for the same amino acidd. It substitutes the same type of amino acid

A nonsense mutation is one that:Select one:a. Creates a premature stop codonb. Changes an amino acid from one to anotherc. Deletes segment of RNAd. Adds an additional codon to an RNA transcript

A missense mutation in the nucleotide sequence of a gene definitely has the effect of: A) The substitution of an amino acid in the protein encoded by the gene B) The production of a protein longer than normal C) The production of a protein shorter than normal D) The death of the cell in which the mutation occurred E) The failure to produce the protein encoded by the gene
