Answer: The statement is false

Step-by-step explanation:

NONSENSE mutation, NOT MISSENSE mutation causes premature chain (protein) termination.

Missense mutation is simply a kind of point mutation where a single nucleotide is changed to cause substitution of a different amino acid, thus resulting in a non-functional protein.

So, non-functional protein is caused by missense mutation making the statement false
