The transcription of the gene (in other words, the end product -- a protein) would be affected. It could possibly change the entire appearance of the end-product (e.g. could make an eyelash curly instead of straight, or make a skin cell dark instead of light).

It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .

it cased that a another nucleotide replaces primary nucleotide and happens mutation.


Are mutations good?

Not always. there are two types of mutations, A Good mutation or a bad one. A bad mutation will happen very rarely but could still happen, The chances are almost to none But there are also good mutations, The chances of getting a good mutation are 0.001 When mutations happen, And its bad, For an example a Cell If it gets a bad mutation, It will most likely not be able to compete with other cells for resources. But if the mutation is "Good" The DNA which is a genetic code will be changed to have the good mutation put it. A good mutation for a bacteria would be antibiotic resistance. Bacteria Reproduce every 20 Minutes by dividing, So on a petri dish having the bacteria lay there for 24 hours, would have More than millions of Bacteria on it. And in those moments of reproducing a Good or bad mutation WILL happen. When you use hand sanitiser you kill germs right? But hand sanitiser says 99.99%, The .001% that lives has a good mutation that makes is be Resistant to antibiotics


Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?

A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.

How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?

A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.


If the dNA sequence Tgagccatga is change to tgagcacatga what kind of mutation has occurred?

The sequence TGA-GCC-ATG-A is changed in 2 places to become TGA-GCA-CAT-GA.When one base is changed, it is called a point mutation.In this case, a GCC in the DNA has been changed to a GCA. This would mean the mRNA codon (coded for by this DNA) would change from CGG to CGU.Both of these codons code for the same amino acid - Arginine. Therefore this type of point mutation is known as a silent mutation.The extra C that appears would be called an addition mutation, which is a type of frameshift mutation.


Would protein be the same if a new base was inserted into the strand of DNA?

No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
