Answer:

introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

A nonsense mutation is a mutation in which an amino acid–specifying codon is changed into a termination codon or stop codon. A stop codon is a codon that does not code for any amino acid and serves to terminate the process of protein synthesis as ribosomes encounter it on the mRNA.

There are three stop codons: UAA, UAG, UGA. A nonsense mutation introduces a stop codon in place of an amino acid encoding codon. It results in the formation of truncated protein which is shorter than the normal protein. Truncated proteins are mostly nonfunctional.

Moths can be black or white. in highly polluted areas the tree bark of trees is dark, which allows the black moths to blend in.
Valentin [98]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.
