What else can I help you with?
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
How can i describe the effects of a frame-shift mutation?
A frame-shift mutation occurs when nucleotides are added or deleted from a DNA sequence, altering the reading frame of the genetic code. This shift can lead to the production of an entirely different and often nonfunctional protein, as the sequence of amino acids is changed downstream of the mutation. Consequently, frame-shift mutations can result in significant biological consequences, including diseases or developmental disorders, depending on the protein affected. Overall, they disrupt normal cellular function by producing abnormal proteins or prematurely truncating them.
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.
Why are insertions and deletions called frame shift mutations?
Insertions and deletions are called frame shift mutations because they alter the reading frame of the genetic code during protein synthesis. When nucleotides are added or removed in numbers that are not multiples of three, the triplet codons shift, leading to a completely different sequence of amino acids downstream from the mutation. This can result in nonfunctional proteins or significantly altered functions, as the original codon sequence is disrupted.
What are two types of frame shift mutations?
"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)" This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame. insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations
What is never a frameshift mutation?
A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?
Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.
Was the sequence a result of point or frame shift mutation?
No
Don't shift from one time frame to another if the time frame for each action is the same?
true
What time frame is a 'late night' shift at Marks Spencer?
what is the late night shift for marks and Spencer
Which of the following is a point mutation that does not produce a frame shift?
A point mutation that does not produce a frame shift is when one single base is replaced by a different base. This changes the DNA sequence, but does not cause a frame shift because it is a switch not an addition or subtraction of a base.
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?
Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
What is the type of mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide?
A frame-shift mutation.
