What is the mutation in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a mutation of either of the genes that make factor VII or IX. Hemophilia A is a mutation of the F8 gene and Hemophilia B is the mutation of the F9 gene. Both of these mutations occur on the sex-linked X chromosome.
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Is hemophilia a defect?
Hemophilia is a genetic mutation of the sex-linked X chromosome.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
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.
Is hemophilia caused by inbreeding?
No, hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the genes responsible for blood clotting, and it is not directly caused by inbreeding. Inbreeding can increase the likelihood of inheriting genetic disorders, including hemophilia, if the mutation is present in the family's gene pool.
What is insertion?
Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
What would produce a frameshift mutation?
An insertion/deletion event.
