The type of mutation that results in the reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome is called an inversion mutation. It occurs when a segment of the chromosome breaks and is reinserted in the opposite orientation. This can disrupt the normal functioning of genes located within the inverted region.

What results if a fragment of a chromosome breaks off and then reattaches to the original chromosome at the same place but in the reverse direction?
an inversion.
What happens to the DNA that results Hemophilia A?
There are several different mutations that can cause hemophilia and there is no typical answer to this question. There are different segments of code on the X chromosome that is responsible for enabling production of Factors VIII & IX. A mutation anywhere within these areas can be responsible for hemophilia. The type of mutation as well as the location of the mutation in that code can influence the severity of hemophilia as well. Lets look at a reversal mutation that results in the creation of a stop codon (this type of mutation is often called a nonsense mutation) early on in the code sequence. The stop codon tells the machinery to stop production of the factor protein molecule at that point. In this case, the molecule would never actually be made. If we look instead at a point mutation resulting in simply an incorrect amino acid in that location (often called a missense mutation) half way through the code sequence, results can vary dramatically. The factor molecule will be made incorrectly, either not functioning for its purpose at all or simply doing a less than efficient job. I hope that helps some.
A mutation that results in the death of the organism is a?
lethal mutation
A mutation that results in the death of the individual is called?
A deleterious mutation.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
Which chromosomal mutation results in Alagille syndrome?
Translocation. On Chromosome 20.
What results if a fragment of a chromosome breaks off and then reattaches to the original chromosome at the same place but in the reverse direction?
an inversion.
Is angel-man syndrome sex-linked?
No. However, if the maternal copy of chromosome 15 has a mutation on a specific gene, angelman's results. Also, getting two copies of chromosome 15 from the father results in angelman's (Paternal uniparental disomy).
Trisomy is a mutation that results in a cell having an extra?
A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).

What is mutation results in death called?
Deviation causes death/mutation of cell, bro.
Which mutation results in a single missing letter in the genetic code?
frameshift mutation: deletion

codon
What results in formation of new alleles?
