A involves the addition or deletion of a single base in a DNA molecule.?
A Frameshift mutation
What are some types of genetic mutations?
Mis sense: change of a base resulting in a different amino acid Non sense: change of a base resulting in a stop codon Addition: extra base is added Deletion: a base is deleted Substituion: a base is replaced.
What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
How does the addition of an base affect a neutral solution?
The addition of a base to a neutral solution will cause the pH of the solution to go up, which makes it a BASIC solution.
What small-scale mutation would be most likely to have a catastrophic effect on the functioning of a protein?
Base-pair deletionA base-pair deletion// An error in the repair of damaged DNA
Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Deletion mutations can affect the entire base sequence.
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).
In what type of mutation is one base left out?
Insertion
In terms of producing a changed protein which causes a more drastic change- base substitution or additiondeletion?
Base substitution, due to the way the RNA translates into amino acids for the proteins, simply causes one amino acid to be different. Addition or deletion, however, cause the entire chain to shift, meaning each amino acid from that point in the chain on will be changed, creating an entirely different protein.
What happens in deletion mutation?
"A type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide(s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation."
Is a change in the base sequence of a DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
