Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Frameshift insertion Frameshift deletion All may cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria
A frameshift mutation in the CARD15 gene

mutation that causes resistance
No single mutation is responsible for this disease. It just happens by abnormality in the red blood cells. It affects the hemoglobin.
The disease sickle cell anaemia occurs due to a mutation. This causes the amino acid glutamic acid (which is hydrophilic) in haemoglobin to be replaced by valine (which is hydrophobic).
A prion, or misfolded protein caused by genetic mutation.
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Deletion Mutation causes DiGeorges Syndrome.
Most cases of Alexander disease are genetic, caused by a dominant mutation (change) in the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene on chromosome 17.
Lethal Mutation.
This is an example of natural selection, where the mutation provides a survival advantage to the beetles, allowing them to survive and reproduce more successfully than individuals without the mutation. Over time, the frequency of this mutation in the beetle population may increase as it becomes more prevalent in subsequent generations.
