Summary Introduction

To review:

The type of mutant cell that could produce a full-length protein from the gene without removing the stop codon.

Introduction:

The set of rules used by the living cell to translate information from the polymer of nucleotide to the polymer of the polypeptide is called the genetic code. This code uses a set of three nucleotides referred to as a codon. Each codon is responsible for coding a specific amino acid. There are in total 64 codons, out of which 61 code for amino acids while the remaining three do not code for any amino acid and hence, are called stop codons.
