Flu vaccines need to be revised and changed every year because the flu virus constantly mutates. Flu viruses can change in two ways: drift or shift. Antigenic drift occurs when genes of the virus slowly change during replication until the immune system no longer recognizes it. On the other hand, antigenic shift occurs when a major change in the virus happens. This usually leads to a totally different kind of virus. This is what happened during the H1N1 scare in 2009.

DNA viruses like mumps are less prone to mutation due to the presence of DNA polymerase. RNA viruses are more prone to mutation because they undergo reverse transcription to simulate the role of DNA.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

Deletion of two nucleotides.

Every amino acid coded by 3 nucleotides.

12:3=4 (amino acids)

6:3=2 (2 amino acids)

3:3=1 (1 amino acid)

After all of these mutations sequence amino acids change, but after continues stay the same.

Only deletion of 2 nucleotides will completely altered all amino acids encoded without mutation.
