Can be, but most mutations are neutral. If you had a gene that coded for a hydrophobic amino acid and it was point mutated to another gene that coded for another hydrophobic amino acid then there would be no change in the protein fold and no danger. Statistically this the the majority of mutation cases.

A mutation that involves one or a few nucleotides is called a?
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
What is the term for any permanent change in a gene of chromosome?
A mutation is the term for any permanent change in a gene or chromosome. Mutations can be caused by various factors, such as errors during DNA replication or exposure to certain environmental factors like radiation or chemicals.
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.

Which mutation is the most dangerous?
There is no definite answer to this question many types of mutations can cause death and I'd say that's the most dangerous effect of a mutation. Large Scale mutations, like deletions or amplifications, usually cause the most damage because they effect whole chromosomes. Small Scale mutations are usually less dangerous because they only effect one gene. The worst small scale mutations are insertions and deletions because they change the reading frame. In my personal opinion, harmful mutations that occur in the tumor suppressor genes are the most dangerous because they are what prevent the mutations in cell from being duplicated and without them working a mutated cell can replicate uncontrollably.

Why was the nuclear bomb dangerous?
Nuclear bombs can be dangerous as during a atomic bomb explosions, it produces radiation. The effects of radiation could be that it can cause permanent damage to cells and can cause mutation. Along with this, it could cause severe burns to the skin.

Who is the main character in mutation by robin cook?
In "Mutation" by Robin Cook, the main character is Dr. Victor Frank. He is a scientist who discovers a breakthrough in genetic engineering, but soon realizes the dangerous implications of his work. The story follows his journey as he tries to contain the consequences of his research.
