Question

The DNA sequence TTG is changed to TCG and produces a new protein. Which type of mutation is this?

Answer 1

The answer is missense. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

A. Missense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the resulting nucleotide is offset from its initial sequence by only one parallel nucleotide we can definitely say it is Missense mutation. This sort of a mutation is known as a nonsynonymous mutation, there is only one direct substitution that occurs in the codon producing a different amino acid.
