How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Why can mutation affect evolution?
Mutation is the cause of evolution. Mutation is what creates differences in individuals within a species, leading to diversion. Then "survival of the fittest" can occur.
Can radiation from a Xerox machine cause cell mutation?
No.
A mutation changes a gene in a cell in the stomach of an organism This mutation could cause a change in?
b: the organism, but not its offspring
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.
What ten causes of mutation are there?

Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.

Can mutation cause evolution?
not by itself
What can a genetic mutation cause?
A genetic mutation can cause a variation, which may be harmless, or may be harmful, depending on where on the DNA molecule it occurs.
A point mutation will cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in?

A mutation that causes antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a what mutation?
Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Frameshift insertion Frameshift deletion All may cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria
What can radiation cause?
