Answer:

c) It introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation (single nucleotide base is changed) which leads to premature stop codon. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons and that is way this type of mutation is called nonsense mutation. As a consequence, synthesized protein is incomplete and shorter than it should be (truncated protein), usually nonfunctional.

Which assumption must be correct for a population to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium for a specific gene? see section 23.1 ( pa
Goshia [24]

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

1. Random Mating -

2. No natural selection - all members of the parental generation survived and contributed equal numbers of gametes to the gene pool, no matter the genotype

3. No genetic drift (random allele frequency changes) - the population is infinitely large.

4. No gene flow - no new alleles were added by immigration or lost through emigration (no migration)

5. No mutation -  There must be mutation equilibrium.
