Question

15. Explain how it would be possible to have a change in a single base of DNA, but have the protein NOT change and be functional.

Answer 1

Nonsense mutation. A nonsense mutation is also a change in one DNA base pair. Instead of substituting one amino acid for another, however, the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein. This type of mutation results in a shortened protein that may function improperly or not at all.Sep 21, 2020
