What might the result of a mutation of DNA in which a triplet code such as CAC now says CTC?

In this situation, a substitution is occurring. If only one triplet codon is changed, only one amino acid is changed, and a very minor mutation occurs.

∙ 16y agoThe triple code is said to determine the amino acid type produced. Therefore it would obviously change the sequences for protein.

∙ 11y agoThe mutation would change how the codons are "read" during the synthesis of polypeptides Which may disrupt synthesis.

Explain how mutations in gametes may result in phenotypic changes in offspring?
mutation in the DNA will cause the amino acids to code for a different protein, creating a new structure, therefore altering the phenotype.
What type of mutation could result in a much shorter protein than the original gene product?
the mutation can be a deletion one or even code for a stop, alternatly if can change the stop code and make a longer protein
What is the triplet code on mrna called?
The triplet code on mRNA is known as a codon. This 3-base sequence codes for a specific amino acid to be added to the chain (i.e. protein) being created.
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
How is identity obtained from Dna?
The exquisitely Short Answer is "The Triplet code that is the result of the USE of the TRIPLET CODONS is how Identity is Obtained via Dna."
When do you type the triplet cheat code in on sims 2?
There is no triplet cheat code. The twins cheat code is "forcetwins".
When a section of the DNA of the genetic code is altered as a result of a toxin it is refeffered to as a?
Mutation.

Can a frameshift mutation be a silnt mutation?
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
What result when a misreading occurs in the copying of DNA?
A mutation, usually a point mutation (where a single 'letter' in the genetic code is changed).

mutation in the DNA will cause the amino acids to code for a different protein, creating a new structure, therefore altering the phenotype.
An example of mutation?
The substitution of one triplet code in the DNA that codes for an mRNA that codes for an amino acid that makes up a protein. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid substitution in a B chain of hemoglobin and you have an allele that will code for sickle cell trait.
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
What type of mutation could result in a much shorter protein than the original gene product?
the mutation can be a deletion one or even code for a stop, alternatly if can change the stop code and make a longer protein

Is hemophilia visble in karyotype?
No. The X chromosome with the mutation will look no different than any other X chromosome. In order to see the mutation you would have to actually examine the base pairs and sequences. A single reversal, translation, deletion, or mutation of any kind within the specific segment of code can result in hemophilia. This will not result in an overall change in appearance of the chromosome.
