Question
If the mutation occurs in the non-functional part of DNA, then these mutations may remain as _________.
Silent mutations.
Missense mutations.
Non sense mutations.
Point mutations.
Silent mutations.
Missense mutations.
Non sense mutations.
Point mutations.
Hint:
The mutation has no effect on the individual.
The correct answer is: Silent mutations.
- Mutation is the change in DNA sequence of an organism due to an inbuilt or external factor
- Mutations can be:
- Harmful: Leading to genetic disorders or cancer
- Beneficial: Development of beneficial traits in individuals
- Neutral: Also called silent mutation and does not show any effect on the individual
- Silent mutation does not affect the individual since the change in the nucleic acid sequence doe not alter the amino acid produced.
