H. Types Of Mutations Flashcards
0
Q
Silent mutation
A
The codon still codes for the same amino acid (due to a wobble)
1
Q
Point mutations
A
Change in base pair
2
Q
Missense mutation
A
The codon codes for a different amino acid
3
Q
Nonsense mutation
A
Codes for an early (premature) stop signal
4
Q
Frameshift mutation
A
Insertions - add a base pair
Deletions - remove a base pair out
5
Q
UGU—->UGC still codes for cysteine
A
Silent mutation
6
Q
UGU—->UGG will code for Tryptophan instead
A
Misssense mutation
7
Q
UGU—->UGA signals a release - stop factor and not an amino acid
A
Nonsense mutation
