View Available Hint(s) A geneticist found that a particular mutation had no effect on the polypeptide encoded by a gene. This mutation probably involved __________. insertion of one nucleotide substitution of one nucleotide alteration of the start codon deletion of one nucleotide

Answer 1

The answer is "Substitution of one nucleotide ".

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacement mutant is a kind of DNA replication mistake placing faulty nucleotide or nucleotide sequences in the wrong positions. A nucleotide sequence substitutes for just a type of substitution mutant, a spots gene.

A researcher observed that a specific mutation did not affect a gene-encoded polypeptide. This mutation was presumably the replacement of the nucleotide.
