Mutations are the result of an error in the duplication process of DNA. These include insertion errors in DNA (base-pairing, dimers), DNA silencing, abnormal protein synthesis, and defective chromosomes.
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Yes, a point mutation can cause a change in one single nucleotide in a DNA sequence.
A frameshift mutation
the correct answer is C. a substitution i know this cause i have this book to this question and point mutation is not one of the answer and i found the answer in the book -No its substituton you jack wagon your books wrong
radiation------Causes of Mutation:1. Drugs / Chemicals2. Viruses3. Radiation4. Random Copy Errors (cause of 70% of all Mutation occures)
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
you cause it cause you are weird
Radiation is an main cause
not by itself
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
codon
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Frameshift insertion Frameshift deletion All may cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria
Radiation can cause sunburn, cancer, genetic mutation.
hahahaa
Mitosis.
No
