Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "plutonium".

Explanation:

Plutonium is a chemical element with the symbol Pu and the atomic number 94. Plutonium is known for being a very dangerous radioactive contaminant for most of its isotopes. For instance, Plutonium-239, the isotope found in some fuels, is much more radioactive than Uranium-238.

Answer:

This question lacks options; the options are:

A) Deletion mutation

B) Missense mutation

C) Inversion mutation

D) Nonsense mutation

The answer is D) Nonsense mutation

Explanation:

A mutation in genetics refers to the change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene or DNA segment. The occurrence of mutation in a gene leads to different effects, which is the basis of the different types of mutation. The type of mutation described in this question is called a NONSENSE MUTATION, which is a type of base substitution mutation.

Nonsense mutation is the mutation in which one nucleotide base in the sequence gets replaced by a STOP CODON (UAA, UAG, UGA), leading to the truncation of the amino acid sequence and hence, the production of a non-functional protein.

This is the case in this mutated gene sequence whose normal sequence codes for: Pro-Met-Glu-Arg-Asp. The mutation causes the codon specifying Glutamine to be replaced by either of the STOP codons, thereby, stopping the translation process. The stop to the translation process causes the amino acid sequence to be truncated and a non-functional amino acid sequence is formed: Pro-Met-
