Translocation in the study of DNA involves the synthesis of proteins from ribosome structures. It starts when the mRNA leaves the nucleus (end of transcirption) and moves to the cytoplasm. From there a tRNA molecule carrying the corresponding amino acid for each codon on the mRNA forms the corresponding chain of proteins. This process continues until all of the codons on the mRNA are read by the tRNA. Each time a protein is bound to the tail end of the mRNA, an amino acid is added to the end of the link. By the end, a long chain of proteins has been constructed, based on the original DNA blueprint for that particular protein to be built.

A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called what?

A mutation in which a single base is added to or deleted from DNA is called an insertion or deletion mutation, also known as an indel mutation. This can lead to a shift in the reading frame during translation, causing significant changes in the resulting protein sequence and potentially leading to functional consequences.


A mutation caused by a piece of DNA breaking away from its chromosome and becoming attached to a nonhomologous chromosome is called?

This type of mutation is called a translocation mutation. It involves the movement of a segment of DNA from one chromosome to another non-homologous chromosome, leading to potential genetic changes and abnormalities.


What is the difference between nondisjunction and translocation mutations?

Nondisjunction is a mutation where chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division, leading to an abnormal number of chromosomes in daughter cells. Translocation is a mutation where a segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome, potentially disrupting the normal genetic sequence.

When one base is changed to another at a single position in the DNA sequence of a gene a mutation has occurred?

Yes, such a mutation is called a point mutation. Point mutations involve the replacement of a single nucleotide base with another in the DNA sequence. These mutations can have various effects on the gene and the resulting protein it codes for.

Is color blindness a result of translocation or deletion?

Color blindness is typically caused by a genetic mutation affecting the genes responsible for color vision, such as the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes on the X chromosome. It is not usually associated with translocation or deletion of genetic material.


Why does a detetion mutation usually cause more defect during protein synthesis than point mutation?

Mutation usually causes the entire base sequence to defect. This usually happens during the protein synthesis.
