When a mutation does not change the result of a normal production of a protein is called harmless. This is because it does no harm to the individual.

What is the the production of ribosomes?
They make the proteinstransfer the functional protein into the endoplasmic reticulum
A random change in the base sequence of DNA resulting in the production of a defective protein is called?
A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation
DNA can result in dysfunctional protein production?
yes but it would most likely be unnoticable

One disadvantage of a genetic mutation in a human cheek cell is that?
It may result in the production of a defective protein

A mutation refers to a change of base pair in DNA. This mainly occurs through a substitution, deletion or insertion of a base pair. In most cases, protein synthesis is disrupted.
What happens if the amino acid STOP code is at the beginning or middle of a gene?
If this codon is a result of a mutation, the polypeptide will be prematurely terminated. The protein will be either non-functional and the organism will do without it, or the protein will become harmful to the organism.
What is the production that a gene controls?
They control the production of proteins and functional RNA strands within the nucleus and endoplasmic reticulum.
Why is a silent mutation called silent?
a mutation that does not affect protein production.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
Which chromosome is affected in Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome?
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is caused by a non-functional copy of the BREP binding protein gene (either by mutation or deletion) on chromosome 16.
What is the type of mutation that causes bloom's syndrome?
This mutation deletes six DNA building blocks (nucleotides) and replaces them with seven others at position 2281. The blmAsh mutation results in the production of an abnormally short, nonfunctional version of the BLM protein. This called a missense mutation.The mutation is recessive and both parents must carry it to produce a child with the disorder. It is found in populations where there are close relatives that marry.Other BLM gene mutations change single protein building blocks (amino acids) in the protein sequence or create a premature stop signal in the instructions for making the protein.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
How do mutations affect translations?
A frameshift mutation may cause a change in the codon sequence, specifically the 3-base sequence which is responsible for coding a specific amino acid. A different protein, a non-functional one, or no protein at all may be the result of this change.
