a mutation that does not affect protein production.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of mutation does not change the amino acids produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent
A change in the nucleotide base sequence of gene or DNA molecule is called a what?
this is called a mutation
The original source of genetic variation that serves as the raw material for natural selection is what?
Generally, mutation.
Difference between body cell mutation and sex cell mutation?
A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
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 mutation called that has no effect on an organism?
A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.
A mutation that occurs at a specific location within a nucleotide sequence is called a?
Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon
If a strand of DNA with the sequence TGA mutated to GCA would it be a silent or missense mutation?
Both a silent and missense mutation is a change in one nucleotide. However, a silent mutation still codes for the same amino acid, but a missense mutation codes for a different amino acid. This means that a silent mutation will have no affect on the resulting protein, but a missense mutation will. Still, it is not guaranteed that a a missense mutation will result in a disfunction of created protein, as long as it is not occurring in the activation site.
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.
What is an example of a good effect from a mutation?
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
Which base substituion would more likely be a silent mutation?
Some subsitituations are called silent mutation because owing to the reduncancy of the genetic code, they have NO EFFECT on the coded protien.. and there you got -- Silent mutation by base-pair substition.. Hope that helps.. Got it out of my AP Biology Textbook.
What is random errors when DNA is copied called?
It's called a mutation.
A change in a gene is called?
A mutation
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a?
A mistake made during copying of genetic information is called a
What is a silent muation?
A silent mutation is a type of genetic mutation that does not result in any change to the amino acid sequence of a protein due to redundancy in the genetic code. These mutations often occur in the third position of a codon and are therefore considered "silent" because they do not affect the resulting protein.
Why do some mutations not affect the amino acid sequnce of a protein?
When the nucleotide in 3rd position of codon is change it does not change the aminoacid and is called point or silent mutation.
