A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?

Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.


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


What type of mutation occurred in the strand of DNA?

A point mutation occurred in the DNA strand. This is a change in a single nucleotide base, such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion.


What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?

A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.


Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?

A point mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA codon. This type of mutation can result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein sequence, which may affect the structure and function of the protein. Examples of point mutations include substitutions, insertions, and deletions of a single base pair.

What is Eleanor simmonds dwarfism called?

Eleanor Simmonds has a form of dwarfism known as achondroplasia. This genetic condition affects bone growth, leading to shorter stature and characteristic physical features. Achondroplasia is the most common type of disproportionate dwarfism and is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 gene.

What type of mutation is a point mutation?

A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G. Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair A mutation of a single point :)

Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?

Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.


The substitution addition or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a what mutation?

The substitution, addition, or removal of a single nucleotide in DNA is called a point mutation. This type of mutation can result in changes to the amino acid sequence of a protein, leading to potential functional consequences.


Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?

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.
