Mispairing
Improper alignment of two nucleic acid strands.
Missense mutation
A mutation that changes a codon for one amino acid to a codon for a different amino acid, resulting in an amino acid substitution in the protein product.
Mispairing
The presence of a nucleotide in one nucleotide chain of a DNA molecule, which is not the complement of that at the corresponding position in the other chain.

These high rates of mutation can be explained most frequently by slipped strand mispairing (slippage) during DNA replication on a single DNA double helix. Mutation may also occur during recombination during meiosis.
Stephen Case-Green (Oxford University) presented data on the positional effects of mispairing.
was re-introduced by Lindegren (1953) to account for aberrant ratios in the products of meiosis, apparently arising from such interaction. Whitehouse and Hastings (1965) have suggested that if gene conversion is due to the correction of mispairing of ...
