Bacic Answer:

Point mutations occur when a single nucleotode is replaced with another nucleotide tide base. Insertion and come in this category.

More Detail Answer:

Point mutations occur when a single nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide tide base. Insertion and come in this category. Error in the process of replication of DNA molecule results in point mutations. Sometimes heat of high level radiation cause the error in DNA replication. There are different effects of point mutations. if this type of mutation occurs in the sequence of DNA molecule or exon, then the protein sequence changes present in the gene. If the mutation occurs in the RNA effecting the codon of gene Sickle cell anemia is cause by the point mutations. Changes occur in the beta hemoglobin. it converts GAC sequence into GUG, Point mutation can be subdivided into three types:

1) Nonsense mutations are the ones which code for the same amino acid.

2) Misssense mutations occur in the genes which code for different amino acid.

3)Silent mutations do not affect the function of the protein and code for different of same amino acid.

What are known as gene mutations and occur at a single point in the DNA sequence?

Gene mutations that occur at a single point in the DNA sequence are called point mutations. These mutations can involve substitutions of one nucleotide for another (missense mutation), insertion of an extra nucleotide (insertion mutation), or deletion of a nucleotide (deletion mutation). Point mutations can have various effects on the resulting protein, ranging from no impact to severe functional changes.

Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
