If the First Nucleotide in a Codon Is Mutated to a Different

question 39

Multiple Choice

If the first nucleotide in a codon is mutated to a different nucleotide, what would be the effect on the encoded protein?

• A) A missense mutation from one encoded amino acid changing to another.
• B) It depends on what the changed nucleotide is.
• C) A frameshift mutation for all of the subsequent amino acids in the protein.
• D) No effect as the problem nucleotide would be corrected by RNA editing mechanisms.
• E) A silent mutation and no change in the encoded amino acid.

Nash Equilibrium

A situation in game theory where each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of other players.

Nash Equilibrium

A concept in game theory where no player can benefit by changing their strategy while the other players keep theirs unchanged.

Nash Equilibrium

A concept in game theory where each player's strategy is optimal given the strategies of all other players, resulting in no incentive to deviate.

Maximin Strategy

The maximin strategy is a decision rule used under uncertainty, where the decision maker selects the option with the least worst outcome, maximizing the minimum gain.
