Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?

No


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.


What do point mutations and frame shift mutations have in common?

Point mutations and frame shift mutations both involve changes in the DNA sequence of a gene. However, point mutations result from the substitution of a single nucleotide, while frame shift mutations occur from insertions or deletions of nucleotides, leading to a shift in the reading frame of the gene. Both types of mutations can have significant effects on the resulting protein sequence and function.


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


Causes a shift in the reading codons by one base?

A frameshift mutation is caused by the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in the DNA sequence, leading to a change in the reading frame of codons. This can result in a completely different protein being produced from the altered sequence, affecting the functionality of the protein.


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 never a frameshift mutation?

A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.


How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?

Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.


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.


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.


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.
