Question

Mutation cause a protein to be synthesized with one incorrect amino acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Missense mutation

Explanation:

A missense mutation is a type of mutation which takes place due to the change in the single base pair nucleotide caused by the substitution of a different nucleotide.

The change in the single nucleotide leads to change in the codon read during the translation. This change in the codon causes the substitution of a different amino acid which could result in a different protein.  

Thus, missense mutation is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

A mutation that causes incorporation of an incorrect amino acid in a synthesizing protein is known as missense mutation.

Explanation:

Because of the protein that this amino acid would be carrying.
