Can cause a mutation in a gene insertion of DNA deletion of DNA substitution of DNA?
Yes, all three processes—DNA insertion, deletion, and substitution—can cause mutations in a gene. Insertion adds extra nucleotides, potentially altering the reading frame, while deletion removes nucleotides, which can also disrupt the coding sequence. Substitution replaces one nucleotide with another, possibly leading to a change in the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. Each of these mutations can affect gene function and may have various biological consequences.

What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
Why does an insertion mutation cause more defects than point mutation?
An insertion mutation adds one or more nucleotides into the DNA sequence, which can disrupt the reading frame of the gene. This frameshift can lead to the production of a completely different and often nonfunctional protein, resulting in significant defects. In contrast, a point mutation typically alters just a single nucleotide, which may only change one amino acid or have no effect at all, making it generally less disruptive than an insertion mutation. Thus, the broader impact of an insertion mutation often leads to more severe consequences in gene function.
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
Is pku a point shirt or a frameshift mutation?
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.
What is the difference between a point mutation and an insertion and deletion?
Because a point mutation is the replacement of a single base with another base. Thus, if the replacement base codes for the same type amino acid, such as a hydrophobic type amino acid replacing a hydrophobic amino acid, no change to the protein coded for will occur. If a deletion mutation occurs then the code for the protein is disrupted and the protein product is probably going to be useless to the body and may even cause a disease.
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.

How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
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.

How does an insertion sequence cause a mutation?
In the DNA, the sequence of nucleotides determines how proteins are built, with each segment of three nucleotides encoding a single amino acid. When one nucleotide is inserted into the sequence, the whole sequence shifts, and all the triples are changed completely, which can cause detrimental mutations.
