Which of the following mutations would MOST likely have the most severe consequence?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frameshift mutations result in a change in the reading frame of the DNA sequence, often leading to a completely different amino acid sequence or a premature stop codon. This can have a severe impact on the resulting protein's structure and function, potentially leading to disease or even death. Silent mutations have no effect on the resulting protein, missense mutations only change one amino acid in the protein sequence, and an addition of a single codon may or may not have a significant impact depending on its location and surrounding sequence.
