The sequence TGA-GCC-ATG-A is changed in 2 places to become TGA-GCA-CAT-GA.
When one base is changed, it is called a point mutation.
In this case, a GCC in the DNA has been changed to a GCA. This would mean the mRNA codon (coded for by this DNA) would change from CGG to CGU.
Both of these codons code for the same amino acid - Arginine. Therefore this type of point mutation is known as a silent mutation.
The extra C that appears would be called an addition mutation, which is a type of frameshift mutation.

The DNA sequence of a gene changed from AACTTG to AACATG. What kind of mutation occurred.?
The DNA sequence of gene that change AACTTG to AACATG are called missense mutation. This is known as a process.
When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
A change in a sequence of DNA is called?
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
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.
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.

How might biologist determine whether a mutation has occurred and if so what type of mutation is it?
The comparison between the DNA sequence of normal DNA to the mutated DNA will be made. The type of mutation will be revealed during the base sequence.
When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
A change in a sequence of DNA is called?
Any change in the sequence of DNA nucleotides is called mutation.
During the transcription of a certain protein an extra cytosine was placed into a gene region throwing off the correct amino acid sequence what type of mutation occurred?
A Displacement Mutation has occured.
What is the effects of mutation?
A mutation is a permenent in DNA sequence of a gene,mutation in a gene's DNA sequence can alterthe aminoacid sequence of the protein encodedby the gene.
What is a mutation in a DNA sequence called?
a change in the DNA sequence is a mutation, so I'm not sure what you're asking
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.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation

Which mutation would not change the remainder of the reading frame of a gene sequence that follows the mutation?
The answer is easy.
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
frameshift mutation
