Mutations occurring at the wobble position are often silent or degenerate, meaning they do not alter the amino acid sequence of the resulting polypeptide.
Mutations in the wobble position tend to be silent or degenerate, having no effect on the amino acid sequence.
| Text | Mutations in the wobble mutation tend to be silent or degenerate, which means there is no effect on the expression of the amnio acid and therefore no adverse effects on the polypeptide sequence. |
