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.

A point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in?
codon
Will point mutation CAUSE a cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes it will.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
What is the name of the radiation that can increase mutation in humans?
There are a number of types of radiation that can cause mutation in humans.Gamma radiation is probably the one you were thinking of, but ultraviolet radiation can also cause mutation.Pretty much any kind of radiation that causes mutation will almost always cause cancer, as a result.
Explain how mutations in gametes may result in phenotypic changes in offspring?
mutation in the DNA will cause the amino acids to code for a different protein, creating a new structure, therefore altering 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.
Describe the genetic mutation thought to cause narcolepsy?
The narcolepsy gene allows cells in the hypothalamus to receive messages from other cells. As a result of the mutation, the cells cannot communicate properly, and abnormal sleeping patterns develop.
Do all mutations in DNA coding for mrna cause a change in an organism?
No. Some mutations can be silent, meaning that they have different codes yet it produces the same protein. If it is a mutation for the start of a mRNA sequence, then the polypeptide will just be discarded if there is no AUG.
What ten causes of mutation are there?
you cause it cause you are weird
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
What would happen if the black wire is not there in a plug?
A missing wire would cause an incomplete circuit.A missing wire would cause an incomplete circuit.
