Which types of changes participate in the process of natural selection?(a) nonsynonymous(b) phenotypic(c) allotypic(d) synonymousI had been asked this question in an international level competition.This interesting question is from Gene Expression topic in chapter Gene Expression of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right OPTION is (a) nonsynonymous

To EXPLAIN I would say: Nonsynomous are the changes that cause a CHANGE in the amino acid sequence when there is a change in the NUCLEOTIDE sequence. Such changes affect the PHENOTYPE of an individual and are hence selected for or against in the process of natural selection.
