Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
Will point mutation CAUSE a cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes it will.
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
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.

Yes it will.
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.
What ten causes of mutation are there?
you cause it cause you are weird
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
What is the single largest cause of mutation?
radiation------Causes of Mutation:1. Drugs / Chemicals2. Viruses3. Radiation4. Random Copy Errors (cause of 70% of all Mutation occures)
Can mutation cause evolution?
not by itself
What can a genetic mutation cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
