When there’s no change in amino acid order due to the degenerate nature of genetic code

New cards
2

What is the level of severity in a silent mutation?

None

New cards
3

What is the outcome of the missense mutation?

Only one amino acid changes so it’s unlikely to impact overall protein structure

New cards
4

What is the level of severity of a missense mutation

Low-Medium

New cards
5

What is the outcome of a nonsense mutation?

The introduction of a stop codon in the middle of the base sequence and no protein is produced

New cards
6

What is the severity of a missense mutation?

High

New cards
7

What is the outcome of a frameshift mutation?

The deletion or insertion of a base which then alters the order of all amino acids downstream from the mutation, producing a non-functioning protein

New cards
8
