What can occur as a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA?
The addition or deletion of a nucleotide can lead to a Frameshift mutation. The Frameshift mutation causes a "shift" in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA. This may lead to the change in the amino acid sequence at protein translation.
What type of mutation is responsible of new variations of a trait?
420 blaze it
What are two types of frame shift mutations?
"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)" This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame. insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations
What is the open reading frame?
open reading frame is the sequence of nucleotides which start up with the start codon and end up with the stop codon.
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Causes a shift in the reading codons by one base?
A deletion causing a frame shift mutation.
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?
Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.

What is frame shift?
A frame shift mutation is one in which the "reading frame" for protein synthesis is altered. Starting from the DNA, you have either the insertion or deletion of one or more base pairs (but not in a multiple of three). For example, onebase pairmay be inserted into the coding portion of a gene. This is transcribed into mRNA then taken to the ribosome to be "read" (translated) by the tRNA. However, tRNA has three bases on the end of it, which correspond to a specific amino acid. By adding one base into the sequence, you "shift" the reading frame by one base pair and completely change the entire remaining amino acid sequence. Note that if you were to add or subtract three (or a multiple of three) base pairs, you would not shift the frame - you would add or subtract amino acids, but the remaining ones would be the same as the original sequence.
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
Deletions and substitutions are types of mutations Which type is more likely to cause mistranslations of proteins?
Deletions, because they shift the reading frame and cause downstream amino acids to be changed.
What is the open reading frame?
open reading frame is the sequence of nucleotides which start up with the start codon and end up with the stop codon.
Is it ok to shift tense in order to indacate a change in time frame from one action to another?
Yes, it is acceptable to shift tenses in writing to signal a change in time frame or to differentiate between actions that occur at different points in time. This can help clarify the sequence of events and improve the flow of the narrative. Just be sure to do so deliberately and consistently to avoid confusion.
When a nucleotide is omitted from a newly made strand of DNA would it create a frame shift mutation?
yes. Because the 1 nucleotide is not evenly divided by 3, the reading frame would not be in the same place, resulting in a new translation for the remaining sequence.
