ochre mutation,

a genetic alteration that causes the synthesis of 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. It is one of three possible nonsense mutations. See also amber mutation, opal mutation.
