What is truncation mutation?

Truncation mutation is a type of mutation that results in the premature termination of the protein synthesis process. This leads to the production of a truncated or incomplete protein which may be nonfunctional. Truncation mutations can have serious consequences on the structure and function of the protein.

A change in the sequence of DNA that results in a protein that is too short?

Nonsense mutation


A genetic mutation that causes a codon that should code for a specific amino acid to be changed into a stop codon results in a shortened protein product and is known as?

A premature stop codon mutation, also known as a nonsense mutation. This mutation causes the translation of the protein to be halted prematurely, leading to a truncated and often nonfunctional protein product.


How can a point mutation alter the final structure of a protein?

In a point mutation, one nitrogen base is substituted for the correct base. Since most amino acids can be coded for by more than one codon, there may be no consequence to this mutation. However, sometimes a point mutation results in an incorrect amino acid being added to the amino acid sequence of the protein. This can cause a change in the shape and therefore function of the protein, which can be a harmful mutation. Two genetic disorders caused by a point mutation are cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.


What change causes the protein CFTR fold improperly?

A mutation in the CFTR gene causes the protein CFTR to fold improperly. This mutation results in a defective CFTR protein that cannot function properly, leading to the development of cystic fibrosis.


When when a mutation results in no significant change in the production of a of a functional protein?

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.


Is charcot Marie tooth disease a autoimmune disease?

No, it's an inherited disorder. Mutation happen in certain chromosomes affecting the protein formation in axon. The results is a mixed motor and sensory disease with muscle weakness and neuropathy.


Most genetic disorders results from a mutation that changes the amino acid sequence in a?

Most genetic disorders result from a mutation that changes the amino acid sequence in a protein. This change can lead to altered protein function, which can affect normal cellular processes and result in disease.


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.
