Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonsense mutation near the end of a gene is least likely to disrupt a protein's function because it occurs close to where the protein would naturally stop being produced, potentially allowing most of the protein to be synthesized correctly before the premature stop codon. In contrast, frameshift mutations near the beginning and nonsense mutations in the middle of a gene are more likely to significantly alter the protein's structure and function.
