- missense {Ans: Imagine a gene in which the sequence that is transcribed into a GAG codon, which codes for glutamic acid, is mutated to GUG, which codes for valine. What type of mutation is this? - nonsense - frameshift - missense - silent - base pair deletion}- False {Ans: From the information provided, mutations in this breast cancer-associated gene tend to be primarily synonymous substitutions. - True - False}- one that creates a new codon code for the same amino acid as the original codon - one that occurs in a noncoding region of DNA {Ans: Which of the following point mutations is unlikely to change a protein's ability to function? (Select all that apply.) - one that creates a new codon code for the same amino acid as the original codon - one that occurs in somatic cells - one that occurs in germ cells - one that occurs in a noncoding region of DNA - one that creates a new codon that codes for an amino acid of the same size as that coded for by the original codon}- delete amino acids in a polypeptide chain. {Ans: Deletions that eliminate a multiple of
