1.	If the mutation has a negligible effect on the function of a gene, it is known as a ____________(a) Silent mutation(b) Frame shift mutation(c) Substitution mutation(d) Insertion mutationI had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from DNA Repair in portion DNA, RNA and Protein Metabolism of Biochemistry
Answer» Correct answer is (a) SILENT mutation To EXPLAIN: Mutations can involve the REPLACEMENT of one BASE pair with another (substitution mutation) or the addition or deletion of one or more base PAIRS (insertion or deletion mutations).
