In Genetics it's called Translocation.

Mutation that occurs when a single base is added or deleted from DNA causes a shift in the reading of codons by one base?

Frameshift Mutation


What is a mutation in a gene?

A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome.

What are changes in the bases of DNA?

When a base pair is added or deleted in a DNA sequence it's called an insertion or a deletion, which causes a frameshift mutation.


If a base is inserted or deleted What is the mutation?

In insertion mutations, an extra base pair is added, and in a deletion, a base pair is taken out (omitted).


Mutation results from an extra nucleotide being added into the sequence?

this is called Insertion.


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.


When a extra base is added to an organism DNA the mutation is known as a?

frameshift mutation.


What are the three types of mutation?

The three types of Mutations are: Substitution Deletion Addition For example: Mutation stand to compare back to: ATG CAT AGG Mutation#1: ATT CAT AGG It is Substitution in this strand because the "G" was changed to a "T." Mutation#2: ATG ATA GG It is Deletion in this strand because the "A" was deleted. Mutation#3: ATG CAT TAGG It is Addition in this strand because another "G" was added to the end of the strand.


During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?

A frameshift mutation


What mutation occurs when two extra guanine bases are added to DNA?

This is a frameshift mutation.


Name two major types of mutations?

Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.


If a nucleotide is added or removed from a DNA molecule and mrna is created the codons after the mutation will not be read correctly this is a?
