Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Tay-Sachs disease is a deadly disorder that is caused by a missing codon in the gene coding for production of the hex A enzyme in the body. Which type of mutation is responsible for causing Tay-Sachs disease? substitution replacement insertion deletion
I believe the type of mutation responsible would be deletion, since it contains a missing codon, implying that the nucleotides were deleted.
A point mutation changes the DNA sequence CGA to CGT, but the same protein is still produced. Which point mutation occurred? nonsense missense silent frameshift
