Mutation that occurs when a single base is added or deleted from DNA causes a shift in the reading of codons by one base?

Frameshift Mutation


What is a mutation in a gene?

A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome. (:


If a base is inserted or deleted What is the mutation?

In insertion mutations, an extra base pair is added, and in a deletion, a base pair is taken out (omitted).


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.


What are the three types of mutation?

The three types of mutations are substitution (a single nucleotide is replaced with a different one), insertion (an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA sequence), and deletion (a nucleotide is removed from the DNA sequence).


When a extra base is added to an organism DNA the mutation is known as a?

frameshift mutation.


During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?

A frameshift mutation


What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?

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.

Frameshift mutation


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.


Name two major types of mutations?

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.
