What occurs when a single nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide and it can change one of the amino acids for which the gene codes?
point mutation
Which mutation occurs when one nucleotide base in replaced with another base?
the substitution has little effect because UGU and UGC both translate into the same amino acid--cysteine.
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 type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?
Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.

what type of mutation occurs when a nucleotide is left out?
deletion mutation
A mutation that occurs at a specific location within a nucleotide sequence is called a?
Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon

What is an example of mutation?
The disease sickle cell anaemia occurs due to a mutation. This causes the amino acid glutamic acid (which is hydrophilic) in haemoglobin to be replaced by valine (which is hydrophobic).

When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?
No that occurs all the time through translocation. It is not a mutation.
A mutation that occurs in a diploid cell can be inherited only if?
Mutation occurs in a cell that produces gemetes
What is the difference between a point mutation and an insertion and deletion?
Because a point mutation is the replacement of a single base with another base. Thus, if the replacement base codes for the same type amino acid, such as a hydrophobic type amino acid replacing a hydrophobic amino acid, no change to the protein coded for will occur. If a deletion mutation occurs then the code for the protein is disrupted and the protein product is probably going to be useless to the body and may even cause a disease.
When does point mutation occur?
Bacic Answer:Point mutations occur when a single nucleotode is replaced with another nucleotide tide base. Insertion and come in this category.More Detail Answer:Point mutations occur when a single nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide tide base. Insertion and come in this category. Error in the process of replication of DNA molecule results in point mutations. Sometimes heat of high level radiation cause the error in DNA replication. There are different effects of point mutations. if this type of mutation occurs in the sequence of DNA molecule or exon, then the protein sequence changes present in the gene. If the mutation occurs in the RNA effecting the codon of gene Sickle cell anemia is cause by the point mutations. Changes occur in the beta hemoglobin. it converts GAC sequence into GUG, Point mutation can be subdivided into three types:1) Nonsense mutations are the ones which code for the same amino acid.2) Misssense mutations occur in the genes which code for different amino acid.3)Silent mutations do not affect the function of the protein and code for different of same amino acid.
