List all of the possible types of mutation this picture could depict.

Solution

This is an example of Missense mutation. In a missense mutation, a single base substitution with another base result into coding of a different amino acid which may render the protein to be either non-functional or aberrant.

This also exemplifies Transversion mutation, wherein, a purine is substituted with pyrimidine or vice-versa. Here, the last base \"A\" which is a purine is substituted with \"C\" which is a pyrimidine.

This is an example of Nonsense mutation. In a nonsense mutation, a single base substitution with another base result into a stop codon which may lead to either truncated protein due to interrupted translation because of the presence of stop codon or it may produce a non functional protein.

This also exemplifies Transition mutation, wherein, a purine is substituted with purine or pyrimidine with a pyrimidine. Here, the last base \"G\" which is a purine is substituted with \"A\" which is a also a purine.

This is a missense mutation. It also shows Transition mutation.
