If an enzyme is absent during polypeptide production a mutation can occur?
This is a true statement. If an enzyme that is involved in DNA replication is not there, then a mutation can occur.
What mutation stops translation of the mRNA?
The type of mutation that stops the translation of a protein is a nonsense mutation. This occurs when a base substitution (point mutation) results in a STOP codon and thus stops translation of the sequence into a protein.
Sometimes genes are damaged or are copied incorrectly resulting in faulty?
A mutation.
What is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
During DNA replication the wrong nucleotide was inserted in the DNA sequence what terms describes this situation mutation regeneration transcription or translation?
mutation
Which genetic change is best described by the following statement A random change in the base sequence of DNA results in an alteration of a polypeptide?
a mutation
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
A point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in?
codon
Will point mutation CAUSE a cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes it will.
What will the mutation result in if a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide?
An inactive/other active protein as a polypeptide that is incomplete will not fold properly. You could get a deleterious mutation that destroys protein product, such as Huntington's disease, or a paint mutation that, in heterozygous condition, such as sickle cell trait, is beneficial.
What is the difference between a nonsense mutation and a missense mutation?
Missense mutation: changes one sense codon to another, resulting in incorporation of amino acid.Nonsense mutation: changes a sense codon into a stop (or nonsense) codon, resulting in premature termination.

A mutation.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
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 is a Missence mutation?
A mutation that causes the code for the wrong amino acid (apexvs.com)
