If a strand of DNA with the sequence TGA mutated to GCA would it be a silent or missense mutation?
Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will. Still, it is not guaranteed that a a missense mutation will result in a disfunction of created protein, as long as it is not occurring in the activation site.
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
Which base substituion would more likely be a silent mutation?
Some subsitituations are called silent mutation because owing to the reduncancy of the genetic code, they have NO EFFECT on the coded protien.. and there you got -- Silent mutation by base-pair substition.. Hope that helps.. Got it out of my AP Biology Textbook.
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.
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in exons?
mutation in exons are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in introns because mutaion in exons are silent mutation

What is an example of a good effect from a mutation?
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.

Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
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.
What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in exons?
mutation in exons are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in introns because mutaion in exons are silent mutation
A mutation in a gene may not affect an individual's phenotype because?
A mutation in a gene may not always affect an individuals phenotype because the mutation may occur in a non-coding region. This is known as silent mutation.
A mutation that occurs at a specific location within a nucleotide sequence is called a?
Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon
What type of mutation is likely to have the least effect on an organism?
A silent mutation has the least effect on an organism. It is when the codon is changed to the same amino acid.
Which type of mutation does not change the amino acids produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent
