A mutation changes a codon from a UCG to a UAG. This is a ________ mutation?

Question

a) point

b) nonsense

c) silent

d) both A and B

e) all of the above

I'm pretty sure its point mutation, but I just need some verification on that

Answer 1

The answer is d - point mutation causes auger mutation.

auger, opal, and amber

Answer 2

Point. To be a nonsense mutation it would have to be frameshift.

Answer 3

A mutation changes a codon from a UCG to a UAG. This is a silent mutation.

Answer 4

If i remember correctly its a nonsense mutation because its changing a normal codon (UCG) to a stop codon (UAG). But its also a point mutation because its changing the code at one base. so I would go d.

Answer 5

d) both A and B

Answer 6

It is a point mutation, namely a substitution mutation and will only affect the coding for one amino acid.

Hope this helps!
