No. Point mutations, or those resulting from a change in one or a few nucleotides at a single location in a DNA sequence. There are two types of point mutations: base substitutions and frameshift mutations. Not all mutations are in these coding sequences but if they are, then the result can be different or non-functioning proteins. They are considered to be neutral, beneficial or harmful. Two harmful point mutations are sickle cell anemia and polycystic kidney disease.
A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.
Lethal Mutation.
Huntington's disease is an example of a lethal dominant mutation. It is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a dominant mutation in the HTT gene, leading to progressive loss of motor and cognitive functions, eventually resulting in death.
lethal mutation
The mutation may be passed on to an offspring. Depending on the mutation, it may have no effect, or it could be lethal.

A mutation
This would be a point mutation, which may be harmless, or could be lethal, depending on the protein in which it occurred.
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
Sorry to burst the persons bubble that said frameshift mutation but its wrong. Point mutation-gene mutation involving changes in one or a few nucleotides. point mutation
Deviation causes death/mutation of cell, bro.
the correct answer is C. a substitution i know this cause i have this book to this question and point mutation is not one of the answer and i found the answer in the book -No its substituton you jack wagon your books wrong
A lethal mutation. It can cause severe defects or disruption in essential biological processes that are necessary for survival, leading to the death of the individual.
