amber mutation Etymology: Ar, anbar, ambergris a genetic alteration that causes the synthesis of a polypeptide chain to terminate prematurely because the triplet of nucleotides that normally codes for the next amino acid in the chain becomes uracil-adenine-guanine, the sequence that signals the end of the chain. This is one of three possible nonsense mutations. See also ochre mutation, opal mutation. How to thank TFD for its existence?
