What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
If a strand of DNA with the sequence TGA mutated to GCA would it be a silent or missense mutation?
Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will. Still, it is not guaranteed that a a missense mutation will result in a disfunction of created protein, as long as it is not occurring in the activation site.
A mutation that occurs at a specific location within a nucleotide sequence is called a?
Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
What does a DNA molecule look like with a mutation?
A mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides that make up DNA. Changes can cause a change in phenotype when they change a gene or regulatory sequence, but can be silent mutations when a stretch of so called 'junk DNA' is affected. A mutation can be either a spontaneous occurrence or induced by environmental factors such as free radicals / ionising radiation. Mutation is considered to be the driving force behind evolution, regardless of where it all originates from: evolution (change) through mutation is a fact.

Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon
Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
Which type of mutation results in abnormal acid sequence?
A point mutation causes a change in the amino acid sequence creating a new type of protein. The mutations are categorized functionally as nonsense, missense and silent mutations.
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
A part of an mRNA has the sequence CAU Use the table below to figure out which amino acid is coded for by CAU then use the table to figure out which change to this sequence would indicate a silent?
AGG-Apex
If the dNA sequence Tgagccatga is change to tgagcacatga what kind of mutation has occurred?
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.
When geneticists speak of mutation they are referring to?
In genetics, mutation refers to a change in the sequence of genes. This can mean a change in the genes in an organism's DNA or in the DNA/RNA of a virus. There are many different types of mutations, which will have differing effects depending on how many bases/sections have been changed, where the sections are located and how different the resultant protein(s) will be. For example; a change in one base, that does not change the amino acid that will be coded for is called a silent mutation. This will have no affect on the resulting protein or the organism.

What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
What is a genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein?
It is neutral mutation. Codons are made up of 3 base pairs. This gives 64 different combinations, but there are only 20 amino acids, so some different codons will code for the same amino acid. When the base pair that is changed doesn't cause a change in the amino acid it codes for, then ultimately nothing happens
