Can a frameshift mutation be a silnt mutation?
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
What could be a harmful mutation?
A mutation in a gene that would predispose someone to a deadly disease, such as breast or ovarian cancer.
Is pku a point shirt or a frameshift mutation?
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a point mutation, specifically an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the PAH gene. This mutation leads to impaired metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is not a frameshift mutation, which would involve an insertion or deletion of nucleotides, shifting the reading frame of the gene.
What would the consequences of a mutation that prevented a person's body from making a membrane protein necessary for active transport of sugar from the digestive system?
A disease known as hypoglycemy would affect the human who gets the mutation. The body would not be able to obtain energy from carbohydrates and would, therefore, be greatly deprived of energy.

What is the medical term meaning Condition caused by defective genes?
genetic disorderOne is cancer that is related to a mutation or the deletion of the P53 gene. There are so many genetic disorders that listing them all would be impossible.
Why is the deletion of a base pair of DNA during meiosis an example of a mutation?
the best answer for this one would be callises, they combined easy
What would produce a frameshift mutation?
An insertion/deletion event.
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Deletion mutations can affect the entire base sequence.
Why does deletion mutation usually cause more defects protein synthesis than a point mutation?
A point mutation will change only one particular base of the codon, so it will only cause a change in one of the amino acids that will make up the protein. A deletion mutation will completely remove a base- causing a change in every amino acid that follows the deletion. Here is an example with a sentence, using three letter words (since amino acids are determined from 3 letter codons). THE FAT CAT ATE ONE RAT. A point mutation would change only one letter (like changing the C to a B). The new sentence is only slightly changed: THE FAT BAT ATE ONE RAT. A deletion mutation would remove a letter (like deleting the C). The new sentence will now be completely changed from the deletion on. THE FAT ATA TEO NER AT. See the difference??? Point mutations usually take place during DNA replication. A single point mutation can change the whole DNA sequence.

A nucleotide sequence changes from ATCGG to ATCGG. What type of mutation occurred?
There are 3 types of mutations that are possible. Insertion Substitution Deletion If we use a bit of logic and knowledge to figure out what each action does, then we can find out the answer. Insertion will the Insert. Substitution will be Substitute. Deletion will be Delete. To insert would mean to put into. To substitute would mean to replace. To delete would mean to take away. Using that knowledge we can assume that the type of mutation that occurred is deletion.

If someone was missing an amiono acid how would transcription and translation be affected?
whenever an amino acid is missing it means there is deletion mutation. deletion mutations have deleterious effects on the transcription and translation as the reading frame is disturbed causing a change in gene.
