You might be referring to point mutation. This is when one nucleotide in a gene is changed and causes many irregularities in the cell.

What is a change in nucleotide-base sequence of a gene or DNA molecule?
A change in a nucleotide base sequence is known as a point mutation, this is when one of the bases(A,T,C,G) is swapped with another. This causes for the amino acid to change, which can change the function of the amino acid chain.
What type of mutation when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence?
Base-Pair insertions or deletions
When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
How can a mutation in DNA base sequence cause a change in a protein?
dna in a cell needs protein and chromosomes.
A mutation is a change in the genetic coding of a gene.?
Yes. Change in the sequence of nitrogen base can be regarded as a mutation.

What is a change in the base sequence in DNA?
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.
What is the change of the base sequence of DNA?
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.
A change in the nucleotide base sequence of gene or DNA molecule is called a what?
this is called a mutation
A change in which part of a gene is the result of a mutation?
Base Sequence
What type of mutation when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence?
Base-Pair insertions or deletions
How might biologist determine whether a mutation has occurred and if so what type of mutation is it?
The comparison between the DNA sequence of normal DNA to the mutated DNA will be made. The type of mutation will be revealed during the base sequence.
What is a change in the nucleotide base sequence of a gene or DNA molecule?
this is called a mutation
What is the change in the nucleotide-base sequence of a gene or a DNA molecule?
this is called a mutation
Is a change in the base sequence of a DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
What is a change in the base sequence of DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
When are mutations likely to occur?
A base sequence in a DNA molecule is changed
