A point mutation, such as a substitution or insertion of a single base pair in the DNA sequence, is most likely to lead to a new trait in an organism by altering the protein structure and function. These mutations can result in new protein variants that may exhibit different characteristics or functions, leading to the emergence of a novel trait.

Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation, such as an insertion of one nucleotide, is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid. This type of mutation shifts the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a change in the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation site.
What is trait in science?
Some kind of genes or something o.O
What is the definition of a genetic trait?
A genetic trait is a characteristic that is influenced by an individual's genes, such as eye color, blood type, or height. These traits are inherited from one's parents and can be passed down through generations.
A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
A trait that always appears when it is present is called an obligate trait. This means that the trait is consistently expressed whenever the underlying genetic or environmental conditions are present.
What kind of allele must an organism inherit in order for a recessive trait to show up?
Neither of the parents will be affected. There may not be any one with he disease in either of the parents families (or there might be). Since each parent is a carrier and has a 50/50 chance of passing one copy of the gene to each child 1/4 of the children will not get the gene, 1/2 will be carriers (1 copy) and 1/4 wil be affected (2 copies).
What is an organism with 2 difforent alleles for a trait called?
hybrids (kind of like the car)
What kind of organism is likely to be an osmoconformer?
marine invertebrates
A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation, such as an insertion of one nucleotide, is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid. This type of mutation shifts the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a change in the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation site.
What trait that may not show when an animal carries it but which can be passed on to its offspring and perhaps show there is called what kind of trait?
A trait that may not be visibly expressed in an animal but can be passed on to its offspring is called a "recessive trait." This trait is only observable when an organism has two copies of the gene responsible for it, one from each parent.
What kind of scientist would most likely study living organism?
bio
What kind of mutation is a tumor?
it is a mutation like PLX4032 it reverses the effects of a mutation found in certain tumors
Where does variation occur?
Variation or mutation occurs within the DNA. It is a natural result of the replication process, or the copying of one DNA strand to make new DNA during reproduction. If the new mutation ends up making some kind of variation that does not kill the organism, then the variation will be passed on to new generations. This is how new traits are formed. When the variation is actually more useful than a trait that the organism's parents had, that new variation will be passed along as a survival trait.
What kind of mutation causes a four leaf clover?
xx and xy genetic mutation.
What kind of mutation is more likely to result in a nonfunctional protein?
A frameshift mutation, where nucleotides are inserted or deleted in a gene sequence, is more likely to result in a nonfunctional protein because it disrupts the reading frame of the gene, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence. This can have a significant impact on the structure and function of the resulting protein.
What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence?
a nonsense mutation
What it a trait?
A trait is something that sets apart an individual from others of the same kind.
