It is called a point mutation. Depending on where the bases are, as far as in the codon, some are not harmful.

What do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
Two form of the same gene is called?
An indiviual letter in a punnett square representing a gene is called an allele. The two genes ( one from each parent ) together is a genotype. There isn't really two forms of a gene.
What is it when you have a gene pair that consist of two dominate alleles and two recessive alleles?
The name of the gene pair that consists of a dominant and recessive allele, i.e. (Xx) will be a heterozygous allele. In this situation, the characteristics of the dominant characteristic will mask that of the recessive allele. People have have a heterozygous genotype may be carriers for diseases that reside on the recessive allele.
Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What are gene pairs called?
Allele
What is each gene of a gene pair called?
The answer is an allele.
What is a gene pair called?
A gene has two sets of DNA.
Can single gene on a chromosome contain only one pair of nitrogen bases?
No because a single gene is made up of many bases in a row in a chromosome that may contain anywhere from several hundred to a million or more nitrogen bases.
What are pairs called?
A gene pair is called an allele. An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is located on a specific chromosome at a specific place.
What is a gene pair that consists of a dominate allel and a recessive allel?
That is called heterozygous or it is called a hybrid.
When a particular inherited characteristic is controlled more by one gene of a pair than by the other the stronger gene is called?
dominant
What are different versions of the same gene called?
The chromosomes in a pair carry the same genes in the same places. There are different versions of the same gene. These different versions of the same gene are called alleles.
Each gene of a gene pair is an?
allele
What do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
What is the gene mask other genes in a gene pair?
the liver gene
What is a gene pair called when is consist of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
Homozygous
Each gene of a gene pair is a?
Nitrogen base
