- Identify the best match between the mutation description and term. a. Transversion: results in a change in single nucleotide from a purine to another purine or a pyrimidine to another pyrimidine b. Nonsense mutation: a change in the DNA that changes the codon code from one amino acid to another amino acid c. Missense mutation: causes a drastic change in phenotype because the change causes a premature stop in the amino acid sequence d. Indel: has the potential to cause large changes in transcription and subsequence amino acid sequence due to reading frameshiftsarrow_forwardSickle cell anemia is an example of a genetic disease caused by a point mutation.
