When one pair of bases is replaced in a gene it is called?
It is called a point mutation. Depending on where the bases are, as far as in the codon, some are not harmful.
A change in a gene is called?
A mutation
Is Huntington's disease caused by a gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation?
Huntington's disease is caused by a gene mutation, specifically in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
Whats a change in gene or chromosome?
A change in a gene could involve a mutation that alters the DNA sequence, affecting the function of the protein it codes for. A change in a chromosome could involve alterations in the structure, number, or distribution of genetic material, leading to genetic disorders or diseases.
Which type of mutation results when bases added to a gene?
Frameshift ~
What types of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?
Frameshift
What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?
This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.
What is a mutation in a gene?
A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome. (:
What type of mutation result when bases are added to gene?
Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.
Does a mutation in a gene affect the order of DNA bases?
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.
How does mutation in a gene affect order in DNA bases?
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.

What a type of mutation where a base is added to a gene?
i don't know and i just ask you
A mutation in what results in lactose tolerance?
A mutation in the LCT gene, which is responsible for producing the lactase enzyme, results in lactose tolerance. This mutation allows individuals to continue producing lactase into adulthood, enabling them to digest lactose, the sugar found in dairy products.
A frame shift mutation occurs any time a gene mutation results in the insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides that is not a multiple of three?
false
How does a mutation in a gene affct the order of DNA bases?
A mutation in a gene involves a change in the sequence of DNA bases, which can occur through substitutions, insertions, or deletions. This alteration can affect the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene, potentially altering its structure and function. Depending on the nature of the mutation, it can lead to beneficial, neutral, or harmful effects on the organism. In some cases, mutations can also disrupt regulatory elements, affecting gene expression.
