What else can I help you with?
What is never a frameshift mutation?
A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.
Can a point mutation result in a frameshift mutation?
Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?
No
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
Would a point mutation or a frame shift mutation more likely produce a neutral mutation?
A point shift mutation is more likely to produce a neutral reaction. This is because it involves a change in one nucleotide. A frame shift mutation is more deleterious because it involves the insertion or deletion of multiple base pairs within a gene's coding sequence.
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.
What is never a frameshift mutation?
A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.
Can a point mutation result in a frameshift mutation?
Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?
No
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
What type of mutation results in a gene change in the body's reproductive cells?
Generally, a germ line mutation or sex cell mutation. Could be anything from a point mutation, one amino acid difference, to a whole frame shift mutation.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
Which mutation would not change the remainder of the reading frame of a gene sequence that follows the mutation?
A silent mutation, where a nucleotide substitution results in a codon that codes for the same amino acid, would not change the remainder of the reading frame of a gene sequence. This is because the amino acid sequence produced by the altered codon remains the same.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in 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.
