How a mutation in DNA many NOT necessarily have a bad affect on the gene's protein product?

The mutation may still code for the same amino acid, or it may cause a change in a non-critical region of the protein.

Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
Explain how a mutation could have no effect on the organism?
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
How can mutation in a gene affect the traits that an organism has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
In what ways can DNA mutation affect the traits of an organism?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
How a mutation during replication can affect a protein that is synthesized?
A mutation during replication can affect a protein that is synthesized in a variety of ways. Mutations can mess up the protein sequences and cause different proteins to be synthesized.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

What cell mutation does not impact the phenotype of the organism because the protein remains unchanged?
It is possible for a point mutation to not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This will result in the protein being unchanged and will not affect the phenotype.

How can a mutation in a gene affect the genes that an organism has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
