Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. an individual experiences a mutation that changes a base in a trna strand, but during translation the trna strand still creates the same protein. which type of mutation is responsible for the change in the trna base?
a. silent
b. missense
c. nonsense
d. insertion

Since it creates the same protein, it therefore is a silent mutation.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The type of mutation that is responsible for the change in the tRNA base would be silent. They are mutations in DNA that do not significantly alter the phenotype of the organism in which they occur.

Ibelieve the answer is c. 

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
