Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
A frameshift mutation, where an insertion or deletion of nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code, can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation. This can have dramatic effects on the resulting protein's structure and function.
No
SCID can be caused by a variety of genetic mutations, including both frameshift and point mutations. Frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that shifts the reading frame of a gene, while point mutations involve the substitution of a single nucleotide.
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
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.
PKU (phenylketonuria) is a point mutation, specifically an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the PAH gene. This mutation leads to impaired metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. It is not a frameshift mutation, which would involve an insertion or deletion of nucleotides, shifting the reading frame of the gene.
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
A frameshift mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence. This type of mutation alters the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence downstream of the insertion point.
