What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
What occurs when the reading frame of a gene has been altered?
Frameshift Mutation
What is the significance of the reading frame of translation?
reading is important if you dont know how to read you cannot understand word,letters,sentence or phrase.reading is everything!
What is the smallest number of nucleotides that must be added or subtracted to alter the reading frame?
3
Causes a shift in the reading codons by one base?
A deletion causing a frame shift mutation.
What is the importance of a reading frame?
A reading frame is important in molecular biology as it determines how a sequence of nucleotides is read in groups of three to code for specific amino acids in a protein. Maintaining the correct reading frame is crucial for accurate protein synthesis. Shifting or altering the reading frame can lead to the production of nonfunctional or truncated proteins.
What is putative genetic material?
Putative genetic material is a segment of DNA whose protein and function is not known, but it is believed to be a gene based on its open reading frame (part of the reading frame that contains no stop codons).
What is an open reading frame and what is it used for?
An opening reading frame is a segment of DNA that contains no stop codons. Open reading frames are often used in order to assist with gene prediction - when attempts are made to identify the protein-coding regions of DNA (the genes).
In genetics what is an open reading frame?
A region on a DNA that is between the start and stop codons and could possibly code for a protein
What is an open frame and what is it used for?

What is putative gene?
a putative gene is a piece of DNA thought to be a gene based on sequence (ex. Open Reading Frame) but either the protein produced or the function of what is thought to be the expressed protein is not known
What effect does insertion have on the protein produced?
A BIG effect! An insertion changes the reading frame and can result in a completely different protein being formed which will probably be non-functional. These mutations are very detrimental.
When does a reading frame shift occur?
When a addition or deletion mutation occurs, changing the reading frame.
Latin phrase her edd oga tet at?
It's not Latin; it's an illustration of what happens when a reading frame is shifted during the translation of RNA into protein. RNA consists of strings of bases that are read three at a time by the protein-building machinery of the cell; each triplet of bases specifies a new amino acid to be added to the protein that's being constructed. Sometimes, through mutation, the reading frame becomes shifted, meaning that the bases are grouped differently and a different amino acid chain results. This can be illustrated as follows, using English words instead of RNA base triplets, and assuming a mutation that eliminates the first letter of the first word: usual reading frame: THE RED DOG ATE THE CAT shifted reading frame: HER EDD OGA TET HEC AT
What is the open reading frame?
open reading frame is the sequence of nucleotides which start up with the start codon and end up with the stop codon.
The process of mRNA connecting to a ribosome and reading the code to produce a protein is?
The process of mRNA connecting to a ribosomes and reading the code to produce a protein is translation.
What do genes carry insructions to make?
everything! from shaping your body when you're still a zygote until maintenance to keep your metabolism in order..... gene reading will result in a specific substance or protein the keyword is 'protein' and this 'protein' did all those works
