How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Latinamerikana
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.

They group together in groups of 3 when they are translated.
look at this sequence of bases
AAC CGA TAG CAA
Three bases, or a codon, make up an amino acid, sometimes different bases can make the same amino acid, i.e. AAC and CGT might make the same amino acid
ill make one up; AAC = x amino acid CGA = p amino acid
TAG= y amino acid GAT = l amino acid
ACC = x amino acid
in the sequence above the first codon, is AAC = x amino acid,
if you were to remove a C then the other bases would move up, making that codon ACC. however, it hasn't affected it as the amino acid made is still x amino acid.
however if you look at the next codon, it will have changed from CGA to GAT. this would alter the amino acid produced.
same for insertion of one as well. just instead add one in instead of taking one out
3 bases make a codon.

Adding an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence producers what type of mutation?
Insertion
What kind of mutation is this ugu-ccg-GAA-cga to ugc-cgg-GAA-cga?
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.
What is a change in the sequence of bases in DNA molecules called?
The change in the order of the bases in a DNA molecule is called a mutation. Such changes may happen because of damage to genomes, replication errors, or insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases.
A nucleotide sequence changes from attcgg to atcgg what type of mutation occurred?
There are 3 types of mutations that are possible. Insertion Substitution Deletion If we use a bit of logic and knowledge to figure out what each action does, then we can find out the answer. Insertion will the Insert. Substitution will be Substitute. Deletion will be Delete. To insert would mean to put into. To substitute would mean to replace. To delete would mean to take away. Using that knowledge we can assume that the type of mutation that occurred is deletion.
How does an insertion sequence cause a mutation?
In the DNA, the sequence of nucleotides determines how proteins are built, with each segment of three nucleotides encoding a single amino acid. When one nucleotide is inserted into the sequence, the whole sequence shifts, and all the triples are changed completely, which can cause detrimental mutations.
What is the difference between nucleotide deletion and nucleotide insertion?
Here's a sample nucleotide sequence:AATUGCIf there was a nucleotide deletion (let's say the "G" gets deleted), the sequence would become:AATUCIf there was a nucleotide addition/insertion (let's say a "G" was added between "T' and "U"), the sequence would become:AATGUGCThe difference is that a deletion makes the DNA shorter and an insertion makes it longer.
A nucleotide sequence changes from TAGCAT to TAGGCAT. what type of mutation occured?
Insertion?
Adding an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence producers what type of mutation?
Insertion
Mutation results from an extra nucleotide being added into the sequence?
this is called Insertion.
What are the types of genetic mutations?
1. Insertion- when a nucleotide gets added to the DNA strand2. Substitution- when a nucleotide gets replaced on the DNA strand3. Deletion- when a nucleotide gets deleted from the DNA strandThose are all of the DNA mutation types. Hoped this really helped you out
How is the term insertion properly defined?
'Insertion' is a therm in genetic science. It describes the addition of nucleotide base pairs into DNA sequences. It might lead to a hazardous mutation of the DNA.
How do you rewrite the sequance a-c-t-g-g-a-t to show a insertion of a nucleotide in the DNA strand?
ACTCGGAT .
What is a point mutuation?
A point mutation is a type of genetic mutation that involves a change in a single nucleotide base pair in DNA. This can result in the substitution of one nucleotide for another, the insertion of an extra nucleotide, or the deletion of a nucleotide. Point mutations can lead to changes in the amino acid sequence of a protein, which can affect its structure and function.
What are types of point mutation?
The types of point mutations are: base-pair substitution, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations. In base-pair substitution, one nucleotide and its corresponding partner are replaced with another pair of nucleotide. In insertion, nucleotide pairs are added to a gene. In deletion, nucleotide pairs are taken out of a gene. Frameshift mutation happens as a result of insertion or deletion when more or less than three (or a multiple of three) nucleotide pairs are added to or taken from a gene.
What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence above?
The specific type of mutation resulting from a mistake during DNA replication will depend on the nature of the mistake and the type of nucleotide substitution that occurred. Some possible types of mutations include point mutations (such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion of a single nucleotide), frameshift mutations, or silent mutations.
What would the insertion of s nucleotide cause the DNA molecules?
This is not a question. Or at least, it's not enough of a question to make full sense of it. (Among other things, is that supposed to be an S, or is it a typo?) Inserting one nucleotide.... there would be a mismatch in alignment, and it would throw off the helical structure. If that's not what you were asking, please try again but be clearer.
What is the mutation cause of insertion?
An insertion mutation is when an extra nucleotide is inserted into the DNA molecule.For example if the original sequence is:AATGCATGGACTan insertion could be:AATCGCATGGACTThis would change the code from: AAT GCA TGG ACTto AAT CGC ATG GAC T.....You can see that after the insertion all the codes are changed. Since each set of three nucleotides codes for an amino acid, this would change all of the subsequent amino acids in the protein coded for by the gene.
