Another class of suppressor mutations, not described in the chapter, are mutations that suppress missense mutations. a. why would bacterial strains carrying such missense suppressor mutations generally grow more slowly than strains carrying nonsense suppressor mutations? b. what other kinds of mutations can you imagine in genes encoding components needed for gene expression that would suppress a missense mutation in a protein-coding gene?
