What would be the effect of a mutation that changed the c of the anticodon to a g?

The effect of the mutation is; there would be another amino acid that may form due to the change in sequence of the anticodon. change in the sequence of anticodon may result to different amino acid that may form.


Which type of mutation will probably have a larger effect A point mutation or a frameshift?

Both types of mutation have the potential to cause a large effect.In general, a frameshift mutation is more likely to cause a large effect. This is because it shifts the 'reading frame' - so that all of the subsequent codons (groupings of 3 bases that are read to determine which amino acid will be added) will be changed.A point mutation is when a single base is replaced. This can either result in the same amino acid being added to the protein being synthesised (a silent mutation), a different amino acid being added (a missense mutation) or in a STOP codon (a nonsense mutation).If a point mutation causes a premature STOP codon - this is quite likely to have a large effect on the protein.


What is the main question to ask when considering the effect of a mutation?

The main question would be " how does it affect the organisms chances for survival?"


Who would have a bigger effect on an organism an error during translation or a point mutation?

The answer is a mutation. Its a mutation because a mutation can cause an organism to be deformed an in some cases due to the deformation it will not be able to feed or defend for it self. For example, if a Giraffe were to be born with a short neck it would not be able to feed because trees are tall


Which base substituion would more likely be a silent mutation?

Some subsitituations are called silent mutation because owing to the reduncancy of the genetic code, they have NO EFFECT on the coded protien.. and there you got -- Silent mutation by base-pair substition.. Hope that helps.. Got it out of my AP Biology Textbook.
