Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Missense mutations are point mutations that change a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence, resulting in a substitution of one amino acid in the protein sequence. Nonsense mutations create a premature stop codon, while sense mutations have no effect on the amino acid sequence. Presence and antisense are not types of mutations.
