Question

If the correct DNA sequence is AAA TAT CCG TAG GAA and the following mutations occur AAG TAT CCG TAG GAT. Which would be considered a silent mutation?

Answer 1

Hi.

here is your answer.

Silent mutation :-)

• Silent mutation is occur when the change occurs in single nucleotides.
• It generally effects on phenotype DNA .
• So ,in above example the examples of silent mutations are
• AAA - AAG
• GAA - GAT.
• In this 2 sequence changes occurs in only 1 amino acids i.e. nucleotide
• Another type of mutation is point mutation.
• Sickle cell anaemia is a example of point mutation.

Hope it helps you ☺
