Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A suppressor mutation is a second mutation that restores some or all of the function lost by a previous mutation. Option A describes an intragenic mutation (a mutation within the same gene) that restores the structure of the protein, thus restoring its function and suppressing the effects of the previous mutation. Options B and C describe intergenic mutations (mutations in different genes) that result in increased activity or expression of other proteins, but they do not directly restore the function of the mutated protein. Option D describes a mutation that is not related to the concept of suppressor mutations.
