Which mutation caused the most drastic change in polypeptide and why?

The mutation that typically causes the most drastic change in a polypeptide is a nonsense mutation, where a single nucleotide change creates a premature stop codon. This results in the truncation of the polypeptide chain, often leading to a nonfunctional protein. In contrast, missense mutations may result in a single amino acid change, and silent mutations do not alter the protein at all. The early termination of translation due to a nonsense mutation can severely impact the protein's structure and function.


Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?

Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.


Which type of mutation will probably have a larger effect A point mutation or a frameshift?

Both types of mutation have the potential to cause a large effect.In general, a frameshift mutation is more likely to cause a large effect. This is because it shifts the 'reading frame' - so that all of the subsequent codons (groupings of 3 bases that are read to determine which amino acid will be added) will be changed.A point mutation is when a single base is replaced. This can either result in the same amino acid being added to the protein being synthesised (a silent mutation), a different amino acid being added (a missense mutation) or in a STOP codon (a nonsense mutation).If a point mutation causes a premature STOP codon - this is quite likely to have a large effect on the protein.

Yes it will.

A genetic mutation that causes a codon that should code for a specific amino acid to be changed into a stop codon results in a shortened protein product and is known as?

A premature stop codon mutation, also known as a nonsense mutation. This mutation causes the translation of the protein to be halted prematurely, leading to a truncated and often nonfunctional protein product.


What substitution mutation causes translation to end early?

Both point mutations and frameshifts can result in truncated proteins. I would think that frameshifts produce stop codons more frequently, however this is based on an estimated apriori probability.


What mutation stops translation of the mRNA?

The type of mutation that stops the translation of a protein is a nonsense mutation. This occurs when a base substitution (point mutation) results in a STOP codon and thus stops translation of the sequence into a protein.

What type of mutation could result in a much shorter protein than the original gene product?

A frameshift mutation, such as an insertion or deletion of nucleotides, can cause a shift in the reading frame of a gene during translation, leading to a premature stop codon. This results in a truncated protein that is much shorter than the original gene product.

When a substitution of a nucleotide results in the early additon of STOP codon to the amino acids chain what kind of mutaion is it.?

When a substitution of a nucleotide leads to the early addition of a STOP codon in the amino acid chain, it is called a nonsense mutation. This type of mutation results in a premature termination of protein synthesis, potentially leading to a truncated and often nonfunctional protein. Nonsense mutations can have significant effects on the organism, depending on the role of the affected protein.


How can you stop chicken mutation?

You can stop chicken mutation by stop buying chicken that has been in a cage you can see this in the back of the package also i you buy meat as in hamburger meat make sure it says 'grass fed'.
