Question

what are the 3 possible mutations that occur from a substitution? silent, missense, nonsense; deletion, insertion, duplication; duplication, inversion, silent; inversion, translocation, addition

Explanation:

A substitution mutation is a type of point mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another. A silent mutation occurs when the substitution doesn't change the amino acid (due to the degeneracy of the genetic code). A missense mutation changes the amino acid. A nonsense mutation creates a premature stop codon. Deletion, insertion, duplication (in the purple box) are frameshift or other types of mutations (not substitution - related). Duplication, inversion (in the orange box) are chromosomal - level mutations. Inversion, translocation, addition (in the blue box) are also chromosomal - level or other non - substitution mutations.

Answer:

silent, missense, nonsense
