What is a genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein?

It is neutral mutation.
Codons are made up of 3 base pairs. This gives 64 different combinations, but there are only 20 amino acids, so some different codons will code for the same amino acid. When the base pair that is changed doesn't cause a change in the amino acid it codes for, then ultimately nothing happens

Is information lost during a deletion mutation?
Yes. The genetic code after the deletion is essentially nonsense when it comes to building the protein. The amino acid sequence after the deletion will be completely altered, resulting in a poorly functioning or completely nonfunctioning protein, depending on where the deletion occurs.
A random change in the base sequence of DNA resulting in the production of a defective protein is called?
A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.
What is mutation.?
A mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene. Mutations in a gene's DNA sequence can alter the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene. How does this happen? Like words in a sentence, the DNA sequence of each gene determines the amino acid sequence for the protein it encodes. The DNA sequence is interpreted in groups of three nucleotide bases, called codons. Each codon specifies a single amino acid in a protein. butthole
What One example of a mutation that would not affect an organisms phenotype?
A Missense Mutation.It is a point mutation where the mutations alters the base sequence without changing the resulting function of the subsequent protein. This is usually when the mutation does not change the amino acid which the codon codes for.
what is the genetic code stored in DNA is used to produce protein products?
The genetic code stored in DNA is the sequence of nitrogen bases. The sequence of nitrogen bases determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, and the sequence of amino acids determines the structure and function of a protein.
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation

Is information lost during a deletion mutation?
Yes. The genetic code after the deletion is essentially nonsense when it comes to building the protein. The amino acid sequence after the deletion will be completely altered, resulting in a poorly functioning or completely nonfunctioning protein, depending on where the deletion occurs.
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
What is the effects of mutation?
A mutation is a permenent in DNA sequence of a gene,mutation in a gene's DNA sequence can alterthe aminoacid sequence of the protein encodedby the gene.
A random change in the base sequence of DNA resulting in the production of a defective protein is called?
A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.
What is the definition of chromosome mutation?
A chromosome is an organized structure of DNA and protein that is found in cells.In biology, mutations are changes to the nucleotide sequence of the genetic material of an organism.
What is the antonym for genetic material?
The protein sequence.

When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
What is a chromosomal mutation?
mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene and can alter the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene..
