Can a frameshift mutation be a silnt mutation?
A frameshift mutation completely changes the genetic code from the point of the mutation, so the protein made as a result of the mutation would have the incorrect structure and would not function as it should.
The removal of a nucleotide from a gene in the DNA leads to a?
frameshift mutation, which alters the reading frame of the gene. This can result in a nonfunctional or altered protein being produced.
What is a frameshift in DNA?
Referring to the frameshift mutation in genes, frameshift is where number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three, resulting in every codon after the point of insertion or deletion is read incorrectly during translation.
What occurs when the reading frame of a gene has been altered?
When the reading frame of a gene is altered, it can lead to a frameshift mutation where the sequence of codons is disrupted. This can result in a completely different protein being produced due to changes in the amino acid sequence. Frameshift mutations often lead to non-functional or dysfunctional proteins.
Will a frameshift mutation always result ina a change in the final protein and why?
Yes, a frameshift mutation will almost always result in a change in the final protein because it disrupts the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a shift in the sequence of amino acids that are incorporated into the protein. This can have significant effects on the structure and function of the protein.
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.
What kinds of mutations are there?
point and frameshift
Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
Is SCID a frameshift mutation or a point mutation?
SCID can be caused by a variety of genetic mutations, including both frameshift and point mutations. Frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that shifts the reading frame of a gene, while point mutations involve the substitution of a single nucleotide.

What mutation can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation?
A frameshift mutation, where an insertion or deletion of nucleotides causes a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code, can change every amino acid that follows the point of mutation. This can have dramatic effects on the resulting protein's structure and function.
Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
Which is more harmful frameshift mutation or point mutation?
point mutations include substitutions insertions and deletions of single nucleotides in DNA. insertions and deletions have a greater effect on proteins than do substitutions because insertions and deletions affect every amino acid that is specified by the nucleotides that follow the point mutation. in contrast a substitution affects a single amino acid. a change in more than one amino acid is more than likely to alter the ability of the protein to function normally than is a change in a single amino acid
What type of point mutation is dwarfism?
Dwarfism can be caused by a variety of point mutations, including missense mutations that result in a non-functional protein, nonsense mutations that lead to premature termination of protein synthesis, or frameshift mutations that disrupt the reading frame of the gene.
