Point mutations will only affect a aingle amino acid in a protein chain, which could or could not affect the actual protein. If a point mutation occured and coded for a stop codon, that would be an example of one way it could affect the protein chain. However, since there are 20 different amino acids but 64 different ways to form codon combinations, 4 nucleotides and 3 slots in a codon 4^3=64, some different codons code for the same end amino acid.
Frameshifts, however, affect every single codon after the shift occurs. This will occurs when an extra nucleotide is added, or one is removed from the mRNA which is responsible for directing which amino acids go where on a protein chain. Look how the meaning of the sentence changes with the frame shift.
|___| represent codons
letters represent nucleotides
the | cat | ate | the | rat
^--- Correct Sequence
the | aca | tat | eth | era | t
^--- Sequence with an extra 'a' before 'cat'
Notice how the frames of all the words after cat are changed. This can occur with a missing or extra nucleotide.
A mutation that changes the start codon of a tRNA gene is unlikely to occur, as that could prevent proper translation of the tRNA. Mutations that disrupt critical structural elements such as the anticodon loop or the acceptor stem are also less likely, as they would affect the tRNA's functionality.
It can have absolutely no affect, a bad affect, or even a good affect.*Deletion and Addition are frameshift: most harmful.
A mutation that changes the "C" in an anticodon to a "G" can affect the tRNA's ability to correctly pair with its corresponding mRNA codon during translation. This alteration may lead to the incorporation of an incorrect amino acid into the growing polypeptide chain, potentially resulting in a nonfunctional or malfunctioning protein. The overall impact on the organism depends on the role of the affected protein and the specific context of the mutation.
When a mutation occurs, the biomolecule that is directly changed is DNA. Mutations involve alterations in the nucleotide sequence of DNA, which can subsequently affect the synthesis of RNA and proteins during the processes of transcription and translation. These changes can lead to variations in the structure and function of proteins, potentially impacting an organism's traits or health.
Translation is the wrong answer, the answer is Mutation.

The type of mutation that stops the translation of a protein is a nonsense mutation. This occurs when a base substitution (point mutation) results in a STOP codon and thus stops translation of the sequence into a protein.
a mutation in a gene that does not affect the downstream genes in an operon. ie. a polar mutation is one that DOES affect the transcription or translation of genes in the same operon downstream of your gene of interest.
A mutation does not affect an organism trait for a reason. It is neutral which depends on the environment.
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.
A mutation in egg cells
it changes it
A mutation that changes the start codon of a tRNA gene is unlikely to occur, as that could prevent proper translation of the tRNA. Mutations that disrupt critical structural elements such as the anticodon loop or the acceptor stem are also less likely, as they would affect the tRNA's functionality.
Chromosomal mutation
Well a Silent Mutation does not affect anything so it isn't bad so its a good mutation.
A mutation in a sex cell means that the mutation can be passed on to the individuals offspring. If the mutation just occurred in a somatic cell, it would not be passed down.
A mutation in a sex cell, such as a sperm or egg cell, can be passed on to offspring and affect future generations. In contrast, a mutation in a non-sex cell will only affect the individual and is not passed on to offspring.
