A. cause an amino acid substitution which increases the length of the polypeptide B. introduce an extra reading frame by creation of a methionine codon C. introduce a frameshift mutation coding for a nonsense polypeptide D. introduce a premature stop codon resulting in a truncated protein
Hi, What level of study/exam is this? At A level, I don't think they expect you to know that UGA is a STOP codon i.e. that it signifies that the nascent peptide chain should end there.
So in this Q, instead of ending the synthesis of the protein/polypeptide in question, an extra arginine will be added. So I should think the answer is "A".

okk that's what I put (: this is uni level biomedical science lol but i didn't do a level bio/chem so idk much to begin with
