Yes. The gradient determines the direction of movement for particles. Diffusion and osmosis are both examples of passive transport Osmosis is the diffusion of water through semipermeable membranes like the cell membrane

The particles will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This direction of movement is described as movement *with* the concentration gradient.

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
