When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?
The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.
DNA can result in dysfunctional protein production?
yes but it would most likely be unnoticable
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
Which gene mutation is less likely to result in a phenotype change and why?
phylogeny

When when a mutation results in no significant change in the production of a of a functional protein?
When a mutation does not change the result of a normal production of a protein is called harmless. This is because it does no harm to the individual.

Missence mutation
Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.
What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?
a silent mutation.
A certain mutant bacterial cell cannot produce substance x. the mutation was most likely the result of a change in the?
gene that codes for a specific protein
What cell mutation does not impact the phenotype of the organism because the protein remains unchanged?
It is possible for a point mutation to not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This will result in the protein being unchanged and will not affect the phenotype.
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
Which gene mutation is less likely to result in a phenotype change and why?
phylogeny
Result of polyspermy in humans is?
Nonfunctional zygote
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
