Can a frameshift mutation be a silnt mutation?
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
What is a frameshift in DNA?
Referring to the frameshift mutation in genes, frameshift is where number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three, resulting in every codon after the point of insertion or deletion is read incorrectly during translation.
Are point mutations more harmful than frame shift mutations?
The Frameshift mutation affects more codons rather than in a point mutation depending on where it happens.
Is pku a point shirt or a frameshift mutation?
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a point mutation, specifically an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the PAH gene. This mutation leads to impaired metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is not a frameshift mutation, which would involve an insertion or deletion of nucleotides, shifting the reading frame of the gene.
How many polypeptides would this DNA template code for?
There would be 5 polypeptide bonds if you are working on the "Whats the point?"-- Point frameshift, inversion, and Deletion Mutations worksheet.
What kinds of mutations are there?
point and frameshift
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
frameshift- deletion and insertion point mutation- sustitution
Can a frameshift mutation be a silnt mutation?

Is SCID a frameshift mutation or a point mutation?
point! good luck
What is a frameshift in DNA?
Referring to the frameshift mutation in genes, frameshift is where number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three, resulting in every codon after the point of insertion or deletion is read incorrectly during translation.
Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
What mutation can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation?
Frameshift mutations MAY change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation.
Are point mutations more harmful than frame shift mutations?
The Frameshift mutation affects more codons rather than in a point mutation depending on where it happens.
Which is more harmful frameshift mutation or point mutation?
point mutations include substitutions insertions and deletions of single nucleotides in DNA. insertions and deletions have a greater effect on proteins than do substitutions because insertions and deletions affect every amino acid that is specified by the nucleotides that follow the point mutation. in contrast a substitution affects a single amino acid. a change in more than one amino acid is more than likely to alter the ability of the protein to function normally than is a change in a single amino acid
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation
What types of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?
Frameshift
