Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation
What is the most likely effect of a frameshift mutation occurring in a sex cell of an adult otter where the mutation is on a gene that produces proteins used to build bones?
The otter's offspring will not survive.
What does a change in the DNA mean?
mutation. mutation happens when an error occurs. usually after the error occurs, the cell will most likely die
A point mutation occurs in a sex cell of an adult chimpanzee. The mutation is located on a gene responsible for the development of the eye. Which describes the most likely effect of this mutation?
The chimpanzee's offspring will have abnormal eyes.
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.
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
Mutations in introns are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in exons?
mutation in exons are less likely to affect phenotype then mutation in introns because mutaion in exons are silent mutation
What mutation most likely can affect a cow offspring?
A mutation in egg cells
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation
What is the most likely example of a favorable mutation?
A mutation that makes a rabbit able to run faster.
Which type of mutation will probably have a larger effect A point mutation or a frameshift?
Both types of mutation have the potential to cause a large effect.In general, a frameshift mutation is more likely to cause a large effect. This is because it shifts the 'reading frame' - so that all of the subsequent codons (groupings of 3 bases that are read to determine which amino acid will be added) will be changed.A point mutation is when a single base is replaced. This can either result in the same amino acid being added to the protein being synthesised (a silent mutation), a different amino acid being added (a missense mutation) or in a STOP codon (a nonsense mutation).If a point mutation causes a premature STOP codon - this is quite likely to have a large effect on the protein.
Which animal is the fastest runner on earth?
The cheetah is the fastest land animal in running.
Can genes change throughout their lifetime?
Sometimes but not likely. When this happens it is most likely mutation.
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.
Would a point mutation or a frame shift mutation more likely produce a neutral mutation?
A point shift mutation is more likely to produce a neutral reaction. This is because it involves a change in one nucleotide. A frame shift mutation is more deleterious because it involves the insertion or deletion of multiple base pairs within a gene's coding sequence.
What is the most likely effect of a frameshift mutation occurring in a sex cell of an adult otter where the mutation is on a gene that produces proteins used to build bones?
The otter's offspring will not survive.
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
