Xavier Chen · Answer 1

this mutation 5'-ATG GCT CAA TGA GTA-3 is right answer

Explanation:

non sense mutation is the change in nucleotide sequence which will result in short protein or chain termination codon.

actual protein MAQCV encoded by 5'-ATG GCT CAA TGC GTA-3',

5'-ATG GCT CAA TGA GTA-3 results in MAQ-V. so resulting in stop codon which will stop the further protein chain synthesis.
