A mutation causes a sequence of DNA that has the nucleotides TTG to be changed to TCG. The resulting protein has a different sequence of amino acids. Which type of mutation is this? missense nonsense silent frameshift

Respuesta :

Answer:

its A missense

Explanation:

Oseni

A mutation caused by the substitution of a single base and which results in a protein with a different amino acid sequence is known as a missense mutation.

By definition:

  • Nonsense mutation is a change in DNA base sequence that results in incomplete protein
  • Silent mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that have no effects on the  resulting protein
  • Frameshift mutation is a change in the DNA sequence by addition or deletion of a base pair resulting in a totally different protein as a result of a change to the reading frame of codons

Hence, only missense mutation is compatible with a single base substitution in DNA resulting in proteins with different amino acid sequences.
