Nonsense mutation---base pair substitution Nonsense mutation---base pair substitution results in a stop codon (and shorter results in a stop codon (and shorter polypeptide)polypeptide)

bromouracil bromouracil assumes the enol assumes the enol form at a much form at a much higher frequency higher frequency than Tthan T
if it replaces T, if it replaces T, will probably get a will probably get a mutation due to mutation due to tautomerization tautomerization during replicationduring replication
