The following points highlight the three types of point mutation. The types are: 1. Non-Sense Mutations 2. Missense Mutation 3. Silent Mutation. Type # 1. Non-Sense Mutations: Non-sense mutation is one type of point mutation. There are 64 codons that code for amino acid out of which three codons (UAA, UAG, UGA) are known as termination codons that do not [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Mutations 2. Occurrence of Mutations 3. Expression. Meaning of Mutations: Inheritance is based on genes that are faithfully transmitted from generation to generation in microorganisms (in all organisms). Despite the biochemical mechanisms that facilitate such transmissions faithfully, sudden change in the sequence of nucleotide bases in genes can and do [...]
