What is dominant negative mutation?
A negative mutation is one which is harmful to the organism. The result of a negative mutation is a non-sense protein. Examples of negative mutations include:a frame shift mutation - codons are read wrongan insertion mutation - insertion of a sequence of extra nucleotidesa deletion mutation - deletion of a chain of nucleotidesa non-sense mutation - results in the creation of a non-sense proteina transition mutation - exchange of purines to pyrimidines thus changing the nucleotide sequence and resulting in a mutation.
