As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
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.
Why would it be more harmful for a mutation to occur in a reproductive cell than a body cell?
If there is mutation in reproductive cell then the zygote will be defective. Then all the body cells will carry the defect as there is division of cells by 'Mitosis'. So whole baby will be defective. If body cell is defective then body immunity will eliminate the same. Fortunately most of the abnormal zygotes are washed in 'normal' menses and lady do not know that she has miscarriage. In first trimester miscarriages most of them are with abnormal chromosomes.
What do you think will be the impact of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes. -apex(:
What is dominant negative mutation?
A negative mutation is one which is harmful to the organism. The result of a negative mutation is a non-sense protein. Examples of negative mutations include:a frame shift mutation - codons are read wrongan insertion mutation - insertion of a sequence of extra nucleotidesa deletion mutation - deletion of a chain of nucleotidesa non-sense mutation - results in the creation of a non-sense proteina transition mutation - exchange of purines to pyrimidines thus changing the nucleotide sequence and resulting in a mutation.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee. The mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye. Which describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee the mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye what best describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The offspring will have abnormal eyes--APEX
What is the result of abnormal cell division?
mutation
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
A mutation.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
What are the signs of a mutation?
Abnormal cell growth and foreign side effects.

What is the resulting mutation when a a piece of chromosome attaches itself to a nonhomologous chromosome?
Translocations
A mutation is a mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably?
Yes that is true
