Generally nonsense is much much worse. It creates a premature stop code which can throw off the entire chain of codons and makes things much much worse. A good way to remember this is that the nonsense mutations make the codons not make sense.

Drug-resistant populations of microbes arise when

Aneli [31]

There is variation within the population, due to a mutation. The selection pressure is the drug. The microbes that have the advantageous gene which makes them resistant to the drug are selected for, and reproduce passing on the gene, increasing its allele frequency within the population over time. However, the microbes that do not have the advantageous gene, cannot survive and their number decreases within the popullation.
