When a nitrogen base is substituted for a different one so it may code for a different amino acid. Sometimes substitution still codes for a same amino acid, in which case it becomes a silent mutation, but in other times it may alter the protein entirely.

∙ 11y agoSubstitution mutation is a point mutation where one nucleotide base is replaced with a different one making a whole different sequence even though it doesn't effect the protein made that much.

∙ 14y agoSubstitution mutations fall under point mutations and involve the substitution of one nucleotide with another. There are two kinds of substitution mutations: one is a missense mutation. In a missense mutation the protein can be still functional, as the redundancy of the codons allows for some leeway when proteins are formed. The other type of substitution mutation is a nonsense mutation; here a substitution can cause a protein to terminate prematurely and be non-functioning, if the codon created by the mutation is the terminator sequence.

Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
frameshift- deletion and insertion point mutation- sustitution
Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
What is never a frameshift mutation?
Substitution is not ever a frame shift mutation. However, insertion, point mutation, and deletion are all examples of a frame shift mutation.
Why is a frameshift mutation more damaging than a substitution?
why is frameshift mutation more damanging than a substitution
What are 3 types of mutation?
Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
frameshift- deletion and insertion point mutation- sustitution
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
The substitution addition or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a what mutation?
point mutation
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
What is never a frameshift mutation?
Substitution is not ever a frame shift mutation. However, insertion, point mutation, and deletion are all examples of a frame shift mutation.

Mutations that change one or just a few of nucleotides in a gene on a chromosome are called what?
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
Which mutation occurs when one nucleotide is replaced with another base?
Substitution
What is a mutation you might have but not know about?
substitution
If one nucleotide is replaced by another it is called?
frameshift mutation
