Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
What else can I help you with?
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
What is never a frameshift mutation?
A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.
Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?
No
Would a point mutation or a frame shift mutation more likely produce a neutral mutation?
A point shift mutation is more likely to produce a neutral reaction. This is because it involves a change in one nucleotide. A frame shift mutation is more deleterious because it involves the insertion or deletion of multiple base pairs within a gene's coding sequence.
What does frame shift mutation affect?
A frame shift mutation can cause cancer or it can be beneficial or have no effect at all. The shift affects a series of codes that make proteins. Sometimes the "new" codes work OK and may not work at all and be a dead end. If a person plays cords on a piano but moves the hands a little up or down, the sound may be awful or beautiful.
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
How can i describe the effects of a frame-shift mutation?
A frame-shift mutation occurs when nucleotides are added or deleted from a DNA sequence, altering the reading frame of the genetic code. This shift can lead to the production of an entirely different and often nonfunctional protein, as the sequence of amino acids is changed downstream of the mutation. Consequently, frame-shift mutations can result in significant biological consequences, including diseases or developmental disorders, depending on the protein affected. Overall, they disrupt normal cellular function by producing abnormal proteins or prematurely truncating them.
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
Which kind of mutation has greater potential to affect the evolution of a population Explain?
A frame-shift mutation has greater potential to affect the evolution of a population because it can alter the entire reading frame of a gene, leading to a non-functional protein. This can result in significant changes to an organism's phenotype, potentially affecting its survival and reproduction, and thereby influencing the population's evolution.
