Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?

No


What is never a frameshift mutation?

A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.


Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?

A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.


What mutation is the removal of one or two nucleotides from a 3 nucleotide coding segment causes errors in all the rest of the message?

this type of mutation is known as a frame-shift mutation and this involves insertions or deletions of a single nucleotide in the DNA strand. These errors are very severe and damage all genetic material past the point of error because all codons are now different. Try and pretend as if a DNA strand was like a sentence and the words (codons) are composed of letters (nucleotides) Normal sentence: The cat sat on the mat Mutation (deletion of letter s) Mutated sentence: The cat ato nth ema t


When does a reading frame shift occur?

A reading frame shift occurs when nucleotides are inserted or deleted from a DNA or mRNA sequence, causing a shift in the way the sequence is interpreted by the ribosome during translation. This can result in a completely different amino acid sequence being produced, leading to a non-functional or altered protein.

Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?

Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.

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.


What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?

A frame-shift mutation.


What is the smallest number of nucleotides that must be added or subtracted to cause a frame- shift in the triplet grouping of the genetic message?

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.


How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?

Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
