An insertion mutation is when an extra nucleotide is inserted into the DNA molecule.
For example if the original sequence is:
AATGCATGGACT
an insertion could be:
AATCGCATGGACT
This would change the code from: AAT GCA TGG ACT
to AAT CGC ATG GAC T.....
You can see that after the insertion all the codes are changed. Since each set of three nucleotides codes for an amino acid, this would change all of the subsequent amino acids in the protein coded for by the gene.

What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
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.
In a certain mutation several nucleotides which weren't there before are put into a sequence This is an example of a?
This is an example of an insertion mutation. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotides into a DNA sequence, which can lead to significant changes in the genetic code and potentially disrupt normal gene function.
When a child is born with a chromosomal mutation when did the mutation occurs?
during meiosis
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

point mutation, insertion and deletion
A mutation that causes antibiotic resistance in bacteria is a what mutation?
Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Frameshift insertion Frameshift deletion All may cause antibiotic resistance in bacteria

Is hemophilia a insertion mutation?
Maybe
How many nucleotides would cause a frame shift mutation?
Adding or subtracting just one nucleotide would cause a frame shift mutation.
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.
What is insertion?
Insertion is a genetic mutation when an extra base is added to the DNA before or during replication
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
What does insertion and inversion mutation have in common?
They are both mutations of chromosomes
What would produce a frameshift mutation?
An insertion/deletion event.
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
