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.

Yes it will.
What type of anemia does a gene mutation cause?
A certain substitution in human DNA changes the code for hemoglobin; this ultimately results in sickle-cell anima.
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer

Yes it will.
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.

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.
