Mutations can have various consequences depending on their type and location within the genome. Point mutations may lead to silent changes, missense mutations that alter protein function, or nonsense mutations that result in premature termination. Larger-scale mutations, such as insertions or deletions, can disrupt gene function more significantly. Generally, mutations that lead to loss of function or gain of harmful functions tend to have worse consequences than those that are neutral or beneficial.

What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?

The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.

How a mutation begin from a sunflower seed to a sunflower plant?

The seed could be exposed to chemicals or radiation that could cause a mutation. Or the pollen from different types of sunflowers could pollinate different sunflower flowers. Sometimes a virus will mutate a flower.

What type of mutation is a point mutation?

A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G. Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair A mutation of a single point :)


The change that causes the viral strains in influenza to change are called what?

It is usually referred to as a mutation, in the most simple language. It happens in slightly different ways with different virus types with different specific terms assigned to each of those ways. But the most common terms are: mutation, reassortant, evolution, recombination, and reassortment.


Which type of mutation will have the most evolutionary consequence?

A frameshift mutation will have the most serious effects.A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three.Divisible by three is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases.Each group of three bases corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein.If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly.


Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
