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 .

A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
A change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake is called a mutation.
What is the change of DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals?
Mutation
What is a change in DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals called?
A change in the DNA sequence caused by a mistake in DNA replication or exposure to radiation or chemicals is called mutation.
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
frameshift mutation
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.
What event will increase the frequency of a mutation in a population over time?
Mutation is the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, virus, or gene. A mutation can be caused by many factors like radiation and chemical exposure, inadequate nutrition, drastic changes in the environment, or an error in DNA replication. The frequency of occurrence of a particular mutation in the gene pool can be affected by drift, natural selection, sexual selection.
Suppose part of an amino acid sequence of a protein changed from tyrosine proline glycine alanine to tyrosine histidine glycine alanine this change was most likely caused by a point mutation called?
substitution
When is mutation is harmful?
Mutation can be caused by many factors (birth defects, exposure, etc.). It is often times harmful (in birth defects: person with three #23 chromosomes; in exposure: a person handling uranium). (sometimes exposure can often kill off cancer [but then again so can Chemo])
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 type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.
Is the William syndrome a mutation?
is William syndrome caused by a mutation
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a gene mutation or chromosomal mutation?
It is caused by a gene mutation in the single gene on chromosome 7 that produces a protein known as CFTR.
