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
DNA can result in dysfunctional protein production?
yes but it would most likely be unnoticable
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
What is nutritional mutation?
A mutation which results in the organism being unable to produce an essential vitamin or amino acid. An example would be how humans cannot produce vitamin C.
How exactly does a mutation change the form of an organism and when do such mutations occur?
Mutation is abrupt change in the sequence in the DNA. This is routine phenomena. Most are useless to the nature and are eliminated. Only rarely, but very importantly this phenomena leads to formation of the new trends in the organism and at times form the new organism.

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.
How does a mutation in a cell affect an organism?
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
Which mutation would not change the remainder of the reading frame of a gene sequence that follows the mutation?
The answer is easy.
DNA can result in dysfunctional protein production?
yes but it would most likely be unnoticable
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
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 .
What is the same between mutation and adaptation?
Mutations are changes in the DNA of an organism. If these mutations help an organism survive in its environment, it would be considered an adaption.
What event occurs in an organism when a chromosome is not copied correctly during meiosis?
a mutation can happen.
What is nutritional mutation?
A mutation which results in the organism being unable to produce an essential vitamin or amino acid. An example would be how humans cannot produce vitamin C.

Why does a mutation in a sex cell affect an organism?
It only affects the offspring of the organism.
