If the wild type DNA sequence reads THE CAT ATE THE BIG RAT,what type of mutation would change the sequence to THE CAT ATE (stop)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nonsense mutation is a type of mutation that introduces a premature stop codon into the DNA sequence. In this case, the mutation changes the final three base pairs of the sequence from "BIG RAT" to a stop codon, resulting in "THE CAT ATE (stop)." This type of mutation would truncate the resulting protein and likely result in a nonfunctional protein product.
