When point mutation occurs at cellular level, it can cause many diseases. Some of these diseases include Cancer, Sickle-Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis and Color Blindness.
No, it's caused by a single point mutation of a gene.
It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .
sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia
A mutation
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.
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point 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.
the correct answer is C. a substitution i know this cause i have this book to this question and point mutation is not one of the answer and i found the answer in the book -No its substituton you jack wagon your books wrong
Such mutations are called point mutation or gene mutation.
Cleanliness is the first and perhaps the most important point to consider
