Could a single mutation cause barbules to form on feather barbs?

Although the cause of barbules to form on feather barbs doesn't sound like a difficult change in evolution, it would likely take more than just a single mutation for such an evolutionary change to occur. Most likely, it would take many mutations.


What does a point mutation cause?

A point mutation is when a single nucleotide switches from G to C or from A to T, or when a single nucleotide is deleted or inserted. It's unlikely for any single mutation to have a significant effect, but the effects that could occur could be anything, ranging from eliminating or altering protein synthesis of a particular protein to altering the regulatory function of a stretch of DNA and thereby affecting the embryological development of an organism.


Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?

A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
