Which of the following is a type of mutation that can cause altered codon recognition?
A) Suppressor mutations
B) Nonsense mutations
C) Missense mutations
D) Suppressor mutations and Nonsense mutations
E) All of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these mutations can cause altered codon recognition. Suppressor mutations can restore the function lost by a previous mutation, potentially altering codon recognition. Nonsense mutations change a codon to a stop codon, terminating translation prematurely. Missense mutations result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein, directly altering codon recognition.
