What occurs when the reading frame of a gene has been altered?
Frameshift Mutation
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.
What must occur for a gene pool within a population to change?
A genetic mutation within the population.
A frame shift mutation occurs any time a gene mutation results in the insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides that is not a multiple of three?
false
What do you call a change in the genetic code?
gene- coding or gene manipulationor if youre looking for the answer from novelstars ;;; MUTATION :D
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee. The mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye. Which describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes.
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee the mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye what best describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The offspring will have abnormal eyes--APEX
What scientific term describes a change in a gene?
A mutation
What is the most likely effect of a frameshift mutation occurring in a sex cell of an adult otter where the mutation is on a gene that produces proteins used to build bones?
The otter's offspring will not survive.
What is an mutation?
An Inversion mutation is a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene.
As a result of sexual reproduction an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in?
germ cells
What occurs when the reading frame of a gene has been altered?
Frameshift Mutation
Whats a change in gene or chromosome?
A change in a gene or chromosome is called a: Mutation
Is gene mutation within a species know as micro evolution?
Genetic mutation is one of the mechanisms for evolution.Micro-evolution by definition means very small changes in allele frequency (gene mutation).
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.
What must occur for a gene pool within a population to change?
A genetic mutation within the population.
What difference does it make if a mutation occurs in a somatic cell or in a gamete?
If the mutation occurs in a somatic cell and the cell is still able to reproduce, the mutation continues in the daughter cells in following generations. If a mutation occurs in a gamete, the original organism remains unchanged. If that gamete is used for reproduction, then the mutation will continue in the offspring.
