"A type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide(s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation."

∙ 13y agoIn a deletion mutation, an entire base pair (or many base pairs) is removed from the DNA sequence.
For Example: (5')AGATAGA(3') would become (5')GATAGA(3') if the first adenine is removed.
Deletion mutations that occur in non-coding DNA or the third base pair of a codon, are usually tolerable by the cell. Deletion mutations that cause frameshifts are usually fatal.
For example the codon sequence of a DNA strand could be:
AUG TAG ATA But after a deletion, of the second guanine,
AUG TAA TA_ The entire sequence downstream of the mutation has shifted by one base pair and will code for the incorrect amino acid.

Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
frameshift- deletion and insertion point mutation- sustitution
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
Is the deletion mutation dominant or recessive?
recessive
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
A chromosomal aberration in which part of a chromosome is lost is known as?
This type of mutation is known as a deletion.
Is tay-sachs disease caused by a mutation?
deletion
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
frameshift- deletion and insertion point mutation- sustitution
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
what type of mutation occurs when a nucleotide is left out?
deletion mutation
Is deletion a gene mutation?
Yes
Is the deletion mutation dominant or recessive?
recessive
What is the type of mutation that causes Adrenoleukodystrophy?
deletion
What occurs when a mutation is caused by deletion?
Replication
What is deletion in mutation?
The loss of genetic material.
What are the types of mutations that can occur?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
What are the 4 types of mutations that can occur?
Insertion & deletion also known as frameshift mutationsubstitutionduplication mutationtranslocationGlad we could assist.
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
