Not necessarily chromosomal mutations. Asbestos types are considered mutagens in lung cells, but any chromosomal mutation would have to be carefully engineered.


Would a frame shift mutation have a serious effect if it occurred near the beginning of a gene or the end of a gene?

Frameshifts causes everything on a DNA sequence to shift and be misread; therefore, a mutation at the beginning changes more of the code.

Which would have a bigger effect on an organism an error during translation or a point mutation?

The answer is a mutation. Its a mutation because a mutation can cause an organism to be deformed an in some cases due to the deformation it will not be able to feed or defend for it self. For example, if a Giraffe were to be born with a short neck it would not be able to feed because trees are tall
