ANSWERS OPTIONS

A transition occurred converting the base G to U, leading to the formation of the stop codon UAA.

A transversion leading to missense mutation occurred, forming the stop codon UAA.

A transversion leading to nonsense mutation occurred, forming the stop codon UAA.

A transversion leading to silent mutation occurred, forming the stop codon UAA.

In an RNA sequence to be translated (----UACGAAAGCAUA----), a mutation occurred where the mutated sequence led to the termination of protein synthesis after the formation of tyrosine. The mutated sequence is (----UACUAAAGCAUA----). List the reason for the mutated sequence.
