Question

Identify the types of point mutations depicted.

Answer 1

Answer:

The types of point mutation depicted are:

1. C. Silent mutation

2. B. Nonsense mutation

Explanation:

Point mutation is known to be a mutation that actually affects a single nucleotide and it has to do with the substitution of one base for another. This substitution can occur by changing, inserting or deleting a DNA or RNA sequence. A nonsense mutation refers to a change in DNA which leads a protein to either terminate or end its translation so quickly than expected. This mutation is commonly seen in humans.

Silent mutation is known to be the mutation in DNA  whereby there are no effects which are observable in an organism's phenotype. This type of mutation are seen as a specific type of neutral mutation.
