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
Each gene of a gene pair is an?
allele
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.
What is the gene mask other genes in a gene pair?
the liver gene
What do you call one gene of a pair for a SPECIFIC trait is called?
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
Each gene of a gene pair is a?
Nitrogen base
What is each gene of a gene pair call?
The answer is an allele.
