In insertion mutations, an extra base pair is added, and in a deletion, a base pair is taken out (omitted).

The deletion of a base pair of DNA during meiosis is an example of a mutation because?
Cells are meant to be copied during meiosis, not deleted.
What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?
This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.
What is a frameshift in DNA?
Referring to the frameshift mutation in genes, frameshift is where number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three, resulting in every codon after the point of insertion or deletion is read incorrectly during translation.
Would protein be the same if a new base was inserted into the strand of DNA?
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
What are changes in the bases of DNA?
When a base pair is added or deleted in a DNA sequence it's called an insertion or a deletion, which causes a frameshift mutation.
Mutation that occurs when a single base is added or deleted from DNA causes a shift in the reading of codons by one base?
Frameshift Mutation
What type of mutation result when bases are added to gene?
Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.
What might happen if there was an extra nitrogenous base deleted from the mRNA code?
You get a mutation or a quite serous illness
A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called what?
translocation .. this is wrong.its a point mutation :)

Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
How does a mutation occur?
A mutation is a change from the expected nucleotide sequence of DNA. It can happen when nucleotide bases are duplicated or deleted from the sequence.
What does a point mutation cause?
A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted. It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.
