Want this question answered?
Deletion (resulting in a frame shift), duplication (also resulting in a frame shift), or a plain old SNP (change of base). You might also be looking for one which changes the amino acid coding sequence and one that does not.
Deletions, because they shift the reading frame and cause downstream amino acids to be changed.
Some mutaions of DNA in body cells affect genes that control cell division. This can result in the cells growing and dividing rapidly, producing cancer. If this is not right I'm sorry. I'm a little rusty on biology.
This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.
The frame work of a cell is called the cytoskeleton.
Deletions an insertions are equally harmful s they shift whole frame .

There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation. Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes. Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame. In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.
"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)" This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame. insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Four types of chromosomal mutations include substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame shift. These mutations can be either positive of negative to the organism.

A mutation is simply an accidental change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in biology are:substitution, insertion,delection and frame-shift.
A mutation is simply a change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in Biology are: substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame-shift. Contrary to popular belief, mutations are often harmless.
