Causes a shift in the reading codons by one base?
A deletion causing a frame shift mutation.
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
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.
How point mutation frame shift mutation and meiosis contribute to genetic variation?
Nicely. Do your project on your own!
What is never a frameshift mutation?
Substitution is not ever a frame shift mutation. However, insertion, point mutation, and deletion are all examples of a frame shift mutation.
What type of mutation is responsible of new variations of a trait?
420 blaze it
What are two types of frame shift mutations?
"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)" This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame. insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
Causes a shift in the reading codons by one base?
A deletion causing a frame shift mutation.
When does a reading frame shift occur?
When a addition or deletion mutation occurs, changing the reading frame.
What time frame is a 'late night' shift at Marks Spencer?
what is the late night shift for marks and Spencer
Don't shift from one time frame to another if the time frame for each action is the same?
true
Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?
No
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
