Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Missense mutations involve a substitution that changes one amino acid for another. Nonsense mutations introduce a premature stop codon, resulting in a truncated protein. Sense mutations introduce a codon that codes for the same amino acid, and antisense mutations involve changes in the non-coding strand of DNA.
