You suspect a protein that is being expressed has been affected by a mutation. When you examine the fully functional protein you find curiously that it still has retained all of its overall function. A friend of yours doing research with you assures you when examining the genetic data a new mutation does in fact exist in this protein. What is the most likely type of mutation that occurred based on this information? Group of answer choices frameshift mutation silent mutation nonsense mutation

Suppose that a gene has a mutation that changes one nucleotide. Compared to the protein produced from the non-mutated gene, the protein produced from this mutated gene has one different amino acid. This newly altered protein provides enhanced resistance to tetracycline (an antibiotic). This type of mutation would be classified as a
