For example, some diseases caused by insertional mutations include:
-
Fragile X Syndrome. -
Huntington's Disease. -
Myotonic dystrophy. -
Cystic fibrosis.
What else can I help you with?
Is Huntington's disease caused by a gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation?
Huntington's disease is caused by a gene mutation, specifically in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
Is tay-sachs disease caused by a mutation?
deletion
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
A frameshift mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence. This type of mutation alters the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence downstream of the insertion point.
Is Huntington's Disease a gene mutation?
No, it's caused by a single point mutation of a gene.
Is hemophilia a insertion mutation?
Maybe
What disease is called by a genetic mutation?
cystic fibrosis
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
What mutation can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation?
A frameshift mutation, where an insertion or deletion of nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code, can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation. This can have dramatic effects on the resulting protein's structure and function.
What is insertion?
Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
What genetic disease may be caused by a change or mutation in the hemoglobin gene?
sickle-cell anemia.
