If you think you have a large genetic mutation, consult your doctor.
What is dominant negative mutation?
A negative mutation is one which is harmful to the organism. The result of a negative mutation is a non-sense protein. Examples of negative mutations include:a frame shift mutation - codons are read wrongan insertion mutation - insertion of a sequence of extra nucleotidesa deletion mutation - deletion of a chain of nucleotidesa non-sense mutation - results in the creation of a non-sense proteina transition mutation - exchange of purines to pyrimidines thus changing the nucleotide sequence and resulting in a mutation.
A genetic mutation that causes a codon that should code for a specific amino acid to be changed into a stop codon results in a shortened protein product and is known as?
a nonsense mutation
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
What are some general effects of a mutation?
Some general effects of a mutation are changes in DNA/RNA sequences and plausibly alteration of the product of a gene or the prevention of a gene from functioning properly.
What process is the protein product of the Ras proto oncogene involved in?
you will have to be more specific There is a point mutation in the k-ras oncogene, and about 60% have a mutation in the p53 so you can develop cancer in the colon by many polyps.
How a mutation in DNA many NOT necessarily have a bad affect on the gene's protein product?
The mutation may still code for the same amino acid, or it may cause a change in a non-critical region of the protein.
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
The permanent change in a gene or a chromosome is called Mutation.
Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
Name 2 major types of mutation?

What is a change or error in the structure of a gene or chromosome?
Chromosomal mutation
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?
