Would protein be the same if a new base was inserted into the strand of DNA?
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
A change in which part of a gene is the result of a mutation?
Base Sequence
How can a point mutation alter the final structure of a protein?
In a point mutation, one nitrogen base is substituted for the correct base. Since most amino acids can be coded for by more than one codon, there may be no consequence to this mutation. However, sometimes a point mutation results in an incorrect amino acid being added to the amino acid sequence of the protein. This can cause a change in the shape and therefore function of the protein, which can be a harmful mutation. Two genetic disorders caused by a point mutation are cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.
What would happen if UV exposure caused a point mutation where a single base was changed within your DNA sequence?
It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .
Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
Would protein be the same if a new base was inserted into the strand of DNA?
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
A mutation involving a chain in the base sequence of DNA?
You might be referring to point mutation. This is when one nucleotide in a gene is changed and causes many irregularities in the cell.
Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
Would a point mutation or a frame shift mutation more likely produce a neutral mutation?
A point shift mutation is more likely to produce a neutral reaction. This is because it involves a change in one nucleotide. A frame shift mutation is more deleterious because it involves the insertion or deletion of multiple base pairs within a gene's coding sequence.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
What One example of a mutation that would not affect an organisms phenotype?
A Missense Mutation.It is a point mutation where the mutations alters the base sequence without changing the resulting function of the subsequent protein. This is usually when the mutation does not change the amino acid which the codon codes for.
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.
Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?
Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
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.
