A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted.
It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.

Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
A point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in?
codon
Will point mutation CAUSE a cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes it will.
Mutations that change one or just a few of nucleotides in a gene on a chromosome are called what?
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
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
How can a single point mutation cause a change in the amino acid?
Be cuz he has a lumpy tummy.
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
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.
The substitution addition or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a what mutation?
point mutation
Is SCID a frameshift mutation or a point mutation?
point! good luck
