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.

During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation
Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
What is the most common type of mutation?
A point mutation (transition) that changes A-G or C-T. 2/3 of SNPs are transitions.
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

Which Chromosomal alterations has the most drastic alterations?
The chromosomal alteration that has the most drastic consequence is deletion. It is defined as the loss or absence of a section from a nucleic acid molecule or chromosome and usually result in some type of syndrome.
Is translocation a type of mutation?
chromosomal mutation
What type of point mutation is dwarfism?
One type of dwarfism that is a point mutation is achondroplasia.
Type of classification based on evolutionary history?
Evolutionary Classification.
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.
