Mutation


What makes proteins accurate?

The proteins are coded in DNA. So the gene expression cause RNA and proteins in solely depend on message in DNA. When there is accuracy in DNA (without any mutation), there will authentic proteins. If any change occurs in the DNA sequence that may form premature or dysfunctional proteins due to the change in amino acids.


During DNA replication two extra guanine bases are added to the DNA. What type of mutation is this?

frameshift mutation


What enzymes are responsible for mutation?

An example for this is, cytidine deaminases (AID and APOBEC proteins), they can convert C in to U, there by make G--A mutation in double stranded DNA.


Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?

A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.


What things can happen to a protein when a mutation occurs?

proteins stop being produced due to lack of DNA function


The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a?

mutation in the DNA sequence. This can lead to genetic diversity and may have different outcomes, ranging from no effect to causing genetic disorders or diseases.


How does the addition of a base to the DNA sequence affect the overall genetic code?

When a base is added to the DNA sequence, it can cause a mutation in the genetic code. This mutation can alter the instructions for making proteins, potentially leading to changes in an organism's traits or functions.


Does this mutation affect the protein produced?

Mutations in DNA cause an incorrect amino acid to be used when assembling the protein. If the protein is complex, the mutation will cause a subtle failure in the process that the mutation affects. Errors in proteins due to mutations either lead to death or to a disruption of control paths, which causes illness and loss of function. But a mutation in the DNA doesn't necesarily make a difference, as more than one DNA sequence codes for the same amino acids, and if that is the case before and after the mutation, it wouldn't have any effect. However mutations can also be a good thing, as it can randomly generate a positive effect, like making enzymes for processing grass, this is the theory behind evolution


Functional unit of mutation is muton?

The functional unit of mutation is actually the nucleotide. A mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA, which can lead to changes in the genetic code and potentially affect the expression of genes or the function of proteins. The muton is a term that refers to the smallest unit of DNA that can undergo mutation, which is typically a single nucleotide or a small number of nucleotides.


If a mutation made histone proteins bind less tightly to DNA how might the cell cycle be affected?

So if the histones are not properly binding to the DNA then the DNA will not be able to condense into chromosomes, which it needs to do for mitosis to occur. So basically, mitosis will not occur.
