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.

Why is it possible for a point mutation to have no effect on an individual's fitness?

A point mutation may have no effect on an individual's fitness if it occurs in a non-coding region of the DNA or if it results in a silent mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein. In these cases, the mutation does not impact the individual's ability to survive and reproduce, so it does not affect their fitness.

What are mutations that occur at a single point?

Such mutations are called point mutation or gene mutation.


The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?

Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.


What cell mutation does not impact the phenotype of the organism because the protein remains unchanged?

It is possible for a point mutation to not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. This will result in the protein being unchanged and will not affect the phenotype.


Can a point mutation result in a frameshift mutation?

Yes, a point mutation can result in a frameshift mutation if it occurs in a coding region of a gene and disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code.
