Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
frameshift mutation
Which spectral type is the most common?
M dwarfs are the most common
What are some common causes of mutation?
At conception: There are almost always mutations when the cell is fertilized. This is what helps retain genetic diversity.Pre-birth: Impurities in the blood stream of the mother (such as those attained through smoking or drinking).Post birth: Carcinogens (cancer is a type of mutation), and other mutagens. (most known mutagens are carcinogens).
What is the most common mutation to genes?
p53 gene..approximately 50% of human cancers involve this mutation.
What is the mutation in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a mutation of either of the genes that make factor VII or IX. Hemophilia A is a mutation of the F8 gene and Hemophilia B is the mutation of the F9 gene. Both of these mutations occur on the sex-linked X chromosome.
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
What type of mutation is albinism?
It is a mutation/
Which type of mutation will have the most evolutionary consequence?
A frameshift mutation will have the most serious effects.A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three.Divisible by three is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases.Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein.If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly.
Is cystic fibrosis a mutation?
yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The most common mutation, which results in a loss of the amino acid phenylalanine
What causes the most genetic diversity in a bacterial colony?
The most common source of genetic diversity in a bacterial colony is a mutation. External DNA is assimilated by a cell is transformation.
Is translocation a type of mutation?
chromosomal mutation
What might the Mutation of a genetic material cause?
Lots of things, the most common of which is cancer.
Could tigers have a mutation?
yes, the most common mutation is the white tiger, the white tiger is a strange mutation of the Bengal tiger,as for others, some are born while the mother was sitting, therefore, they have a deformed face, some sort of mutation, BUT, i have not herd of any other mutation.
What type of point mutation is dwarfism?
One type of dwarfism that is a point mutation is achondroplasia.
