5-bromouracil is a base analoge or antimetabolite. It substitutes thymine residue in DNA. After one cycle of replication it introduce other base and in this way it makes a point mutation.

How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Why can mutation affect evolution?
Mutation is the cause of evolution. Mutation is what creates differences in individuals within a species, leading to diversion. Then "survival of the fittest" can occur.
Which of the these would most likely cause a mutation?
A mutagen is a substance that has the potential to cause a mutation in the DNA.
Mutations that change one or just a few of nucleotides in a gene on a chromosome are called what?
the correct answer is C. a substitution i know this cause i have this book to this question and point mutation is not one of the answer and i found the answer in the book -No its substituton you jack wagon your books wrong
What is the single largest cause of mutation?
DNA replication errors during cell division is considered to be the single largest cause of mutations in organisms. Mistakes during this process can lead to changes in the genetic code, potentially resulting in mutations.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
What ten causes of mutation are there?
you cause it cause you are weird
What would cause mutation?
Radiation is an main cause
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, achondroplasia is primarily caused by a specific mutation in the FGFR3 gene. This mutation leads to abnormal bone growth and results in the characteristic features of achondroplasia, such as short stature and characteristic facial features.
What is the single largest cause of mutation?
DNA replication errors during cell division is considered to be the single largest cause of mutations in organisms. Mistakes during this process can lead to changes in the genetic code, potentially resulting in mutations.
Can mutation cause evolution?
not by itself
What can a genetic mutation cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
A point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in?
codon
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
A mutation that causes antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a what mutation?
Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Frameshift insertion Frameshift deletion All may cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria
What can radiation cause?
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
What is a natural cause for gene mutation?
hahahaa
