There would be no change in no. of amino acids as this mutation is miscense mutation, no . of amino acids changes with frame shift mutations .
This would be a point mutation, which may be harmless, or could be lethal, depending on the protein in which it occurred.
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
Nothing happens immediately. But when the two strands separate and construct new strands. The bottom strand will replicate the old top strand. The top strand will create a changed bottom strand. The two new cells after cell division will have different genetic codes. Most changes stop at this point because the "NEW" code won't be viable. Now if the change on the top immediately changes the bottom. Then the cell itself stops functioning unless it is a viable change.
If a point mutation occurred during DNA replication, you would see a change in one base pair of the DNA sequence. This can result in different amino acids being coded for, potentially leading to altered protein structure and function. The effects of the mutation depend on its location within the gene and the specific amino acid change that occurs.
A mutation
A point mutation occurred in the DNA strand. This is a change in a single nucleotide base, such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion.
This would be a point mutation, which may be harmless, or could be lethal, depending on the protein in which it occurred.
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
This is called a "mutation." What ends up happening depends on where the base that changed was located. If the changed base is on the side of the DNA strand that is not used in making mRNA, there will be no difference in the final protein made whatsoever. If the mutation occurs in a part of the DNA that is not coded to make a protein (so called "junk" DNA), there will also be no change in the final protein, because there won't be a protein made. Even if the mutation occurs in a segment of DNA that eventually makes a protein, if the replacement base causes the mRNA to code for an amino acid that is similar to the original base, there will be little change. There is more to it, but that will probably suffice.

A point mutation has occurred in this case, specifically a transition mutation where one purine (adenine or guanine) is replaced by another purine, or one pyrimidine (thymine or cytosine) is replaced by another pyrimidine. In this example, the cytosine (C) in the original strand has been replaced by a guanine (G) in the complementary strand.
