Answer:

nonsense mutation

Explanation:

A point mutation is a mutation within DNA sequence when a single nucleotide is changed (substitued, deleted, added). They can have various effects depending on the type of point mutation. For example, nonsense mutations are point mutations that result in a premature stop codon. UAC codon codes for the tyrosine amino acid, while UAG is stop codon. A s a consequence, protein product is usually unfunctional because it is incomplete.

Nonsense mutations can cause genetic disorders (e.g. thalassemia).

Why do volcanoes occur most often near plate tectonics?
dem82 [27]
Diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes also form as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle along the gap between the two plates. We almost never see these volcanoes, because most of them are located on the sea floor.
