A silent mutation is a point mutation where the amino acid does not change due to the redundancy in the genetic code, meaning multiple codons can code for the same amino acid.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a nonsense mutation?
Back
A nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation that changes a codon into a stop codon, leading to premature termination of protein synthesis.
3.

Where does transcription occur in a cell?
Back
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the process of translation?
Back
Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the mRNA template, converting the sequence of nucleotides into a sequence of amino acids.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a codon?
Back
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid or a stop signal during protein synthesis.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is an anti-codon?
Back
An anti-codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a codon in mRNA, allowing for the correct amino acid to be added during translation.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How many codons are there in the genetic code?
Back
There are 64 possible codons in the genetic code, which correspond to 20 amino acids and stop signals.
