What is the difference between missense and nonsense mutations?
Missense mutations affect DNA replication, while nonsense mutations affect RNA transcription.
Both missense and nonsense mutations result in the same amino acid sequence.
Missense mutations create a stop codon, while nonsense mutations change one amino acid.

What are insertions and deletions in the context of mutations?
Insertions are the addition of nucleotides, and deletions are the removal of nucleotides in a DNA sequence.
Insertions are the removal of nucleotides, and deletions are the addition of nucleotides in a DNA sequence.
Insertions and deletions refer to the alteration of protein structures, not DNA sequences.
Insertions involve changing the order of nucleotides, while deletions involve duplicating nucleotides.
