Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.

Which type of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?

An insertion mutation occurs when extra bases are added into a gene. This can disrupt the reading frame, leading to a shift in the way the genetic code is interpreted during protein synthesis.


Does a mutation in a gene affect the order of DNA bases?

A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.

What is a mutation in a gene?

A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome.

Can a point mutation result in a frameshift mutation?

Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.


What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?

This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.


When one pair of bases is replaced in a gene it is called?

It is called a point mutation. Depending on where the bases are, as far as in the codon, some are not harmful.

What is a change in the sequence of bases in DNA molecules called?

A change in the sequence of bases in DNA molecules is called a mutation. Mutations can happen naturally as a result of errors during replication or from exposure to mutagenic factors, leading to genetic variation in populations.
