A mutation in a gene involves a change in the sequence of DNA bases, which can occur through substitutions, insertions, or deletions. This alteration can affect the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene, potentially altering its structure and function. Depending on the nature of the mutation, it can lead to beneficial, neutral, or harmful effects on the organism. In some cases, mutations can also disrupt regulatory elements, affecting gene expression.
What else can I help you with?
What is a mutation in a gene?
A permanent change in the gene's DNA sequence. Gene mutations involving one or a few nuckeotides is called point mutation. If a nucleotide is added or deleted, the bases are still read in groups of three, but now those groupings are shifted for every codon that follows. This is called frameshift mutation. Your welcome.

Is gene mutation and mutation is same?
Yes, gene mutation and mutation are often used interchangeably in biological contexts. Gene mutation specifically refers to a change in the sequence of DNA in a particular gene, whereas mutation can refer to changes in DNA sequences more broadly, including those not within a specific gene.
What type of mutation results when bases are added to the gene?
This is called an insertion mutation.Some repeats, such as the repeats in the Huntington's gene, can be repeated too many times and then you have the deleterious mutation in this gene.
Mutation is any change in a gene or chromosome?
mutations
What does the order of the bases in DNA ultimately?
Order of bases in a gene codes for the amino acid assembly into a protein.
Which type of mutation results when bases added to a gene?
Frameshift ~
How does mutation in a gene affect order in DNA bases?
A mutation in a gene can happen by addition, deletion or substitution of base pairs. This means that the order of the bases will change- a new base may be added, a base may be lost, or one base may be substituted for another. The result of these mutations is that it causes the DNA to code for a different protein. If a mutation occurs in a sex cell, the mutation can be passed on to an offspring and affect the offspring's phenotype.

What types of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?
Frameshift
When one pair of bases is replaced in a gene it is called?
It is called a point mutation. Depending on where the bases are, as far as in the codon, some are not harmful.
What is an mutation?
An Inversion mutation is a mutation that causes a reversal in the order of a segment of a chromosome within the chromosome, or a gene.
Which type of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?
An insertion mutation occurs when extra bases are added into a gene. This can disrupt the reading frame, leading to a shift in the way the genetic code is interpreted during protein synthesis.
The order of the bases along a gene determines the order in which?

Is mutation dominate or recessive?
it depends on what mutation you speak of. some are and some are not.
A change in a gene is called?
