There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation.
Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes.
Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame.
In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.

What according to zaroff is The Most Dangerous Game in the story The Most Dangerous Game?
Humans
Most dangerous sea animal in the world?
Jellyfishes are known as most dangerous, if a jellyfish bites you then pour vinegar on the wound and call an ambulance
Which animal is the most dangerous animal on Arizona?
The most dangerous snake in Arizona is the rattlesnake.
What is the most dangerus animal on earth?
mooses are dangerous and are the most agressive animals in the north :))One of it is lion but it's not as dangerous as a Mosquito! I know! Mosquitoes can kill u! They Are VERY dangerous PeterFoster111: Yes, the mosquito is the most dangerous. But, the most dangerous animal in the whole whide world besides the mosquito, is man.Last time I checked mosquitoes were classified as insects, not animals. And enough with the cliches about how "man" is the most dangerous animal - the person is simply asking which animals are the most dangerous. To answer this, I would base it off of the number of humans killed each year by the specific animals, so that would make snakes, crocodiles, elephants, hippos, and lions the most dangerous animals.Some of the most dangerous animals are elephants. really. They are large, fast and if you get stepped on by one, or charged, you are a goner. Also, wild cats like tigers and leopards are the most dangerous wild cats. Of course, there are more dangerous animals than these. Also, the Komodo Dragon is quite dangerous, but they are not common.
Why lion isn't on the list of the most dangerous animal?
BECUSE lion is not the dangerous animal
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
Is a mutation dangerous?
Can be, but most mutations are neutral. If you had a gene that coded for a hydrophobic amino acid and it was point mutated to another gene that coded for another hydrophobic amino acid then there would be no change in the protein fold and no danger. Statistically this the the majority of mutation cases.
What mutation most likely can affect a cow offspring?
A mutation in egg cells
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation
What is potential impact mutation?
No one knows what effect a mutation may have. Most are not viable.
What is the most likely example of a favorable mutation?
A mutation that makes a rabbit able to run faster.
What would most unpredictably affect an ecosystem?
a mutation in native bacteria
What is the most common type of mutation?
A point mutation (transition) that changes A-G or C-T. 2/3 of SNPs are transitions.
What is the most common mutation to genes?
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
Does mutation depend on evolution?
The mutation theory is basically stating that mutation is one of the major factors that cause evolution. The mutation has to be a beneficial mutation, meaning that it has to help the survival of the organism that got the mutation. The mutation causes knew genes and diversity which can spread quickly throughout a population and eventually change the frequency of alleles (causes mutation) Remember the mutation has to be beneficial to the survival of the organism.
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
Which type of mutation will have the most evolutionary consequence?
A frameshift mutation will have the most serious effects.A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three.Divisible by three is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases.Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein.If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly.
