What else can I help you with?
A involves the addition or deletion of a single base in a DNA molecule.?
A Frameshift mutation
What are 3 types of mutation?
The three types of mutations are substitution (where one base is replaced with another), insertion (where an extra base is added), and deletion (where a base is removed). These mutations can alter the DNA sequence and potentially change the resulting protein.
What are some types of genetic mutations?
Mis sense: change of a base resulting in a different amino acid Non sense: change of a base resulting in a stop codon Addition: extra base is added Deletion: a base is deleted Substituion: a base is replaced.
What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?
The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.
What type of mutation when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence?
A deletion mutation occurs when a nucleotide is dropped from a DNA sequence. This can cause a shift in the reading frame, leading to a non-functional protein being produced.
What are three main types of gene mutations what happens in each gene?
The three main types of gene mutations are point mutations, insertion mutations, and deletion mutations. Point mutations involve changes to a single nucleotide base. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotide bases. Deletion mutations involve the removal of nucleotide bases in a gene sequence.
Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Deletion mutations can affect the entire base sequence.
If a base is inserted or deleted What is the mutation?
In insertion mutations, an extra base pair is added, and in a deletion, a base pair is taken out (omitted).
In terms of producing a changed protein which causes a more drastic change- base substitution or additiondeletion?
Base substitution, due to the way the RNA translates into amino acids for the proteins, simply causes one amino acid to be different. Addition or deletion, however, cause the entire chain to shift, meaning each amino acid from that point in the chain on will be changed, creating an entirely different protein.
What happens in deletion mutation?
"A type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide(s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation."
What is a change in the base sequence of DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
Is a change in the base sequence of a DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
