Why is point mutation dangerous?

A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.


Which type of mutation results in the formation of a protein with one incorrect amino acid-?

Missense is a type of mutation which results in the formation of a protein with one incorrect amino acid.


What impact could a point mutation do?

A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.


As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?

Missence mutation


A mutation that alters a single amino acid within a protein can alter?

the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of a protein structure because once an amino acid is effected by a mutation in a single amino acid it ruins the entire protein on all levels


Which type of mutation resukts in the formation of a protein with one incorrect amino acid?

missense mutation


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.


Why does an insert mutation usually cause more 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.


When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?

The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.


What is a A genetic mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein is called?

a silent mutation.


What do mutation have to do with amino acid change in a protein?

nothing idfk lol
