Question

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

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.
