When a base substitution mutation does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of a protein (due to the degeneracy of the genetic code), we say that this mutation is:Multiple choice question.sense.silent.degenerate.beneficial.

What type of mutation occurs when a base substitution results in the change of a single amino acid in a protein?Multiple choice question.NonsenseMissenseFrameshiftSense

The genetic code is said to be degenerate because there are 64 different codons, but translation produces only 20 unique amino acids.  The degeneracy of the genetic code is due to which mechanism?A.Exclusion of protein coding regions from mature mRNAB.Errors during tRNA chargingC.Ambiguity of the tRNA for the amino acidD.Nontraditional base pairing of the anticodon with the third base of the codon

A mutation in a base in DNA that does not result in an amino acid change in the protein is called a__________ mutation. A) silent B) deletion
