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 causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
In what type of mutation is one base left out?
A one base left out mutation is called a deletion mutation. This type of mutation involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from a DNA sequence, which can lead to a frameshift mutation if not in multiples of three.
Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
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.
What type of mutation causes autism?
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.
What type of mutation cause cell anemia?
Mutations in the hemoglobin molecules cause sickle cell anemia.
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Can glaucoma cause Optic atrophy?
Yes
Is glaucoma infectious?
Glaucoma itself is not infectious but sometimes glaucoma can be caused by a complicated ocular infections like keratitis that is caused by herpes virus. Complicated herpes virus infection can cause glaucoma.
What type of mutation is albinism?
It is a mutation/
Is translocation a type of mutation?
chromosomal mutation
What is the difference between glaucoma and cataracts symptoms?
Although glaucoma and cataracts are both eye conditions that can cause loss of eyesight there are a few differences between them. Cataracts cause a painless loss of transparency overtime, while glaucoma can cause vision loss either slowly or quickly but with pain.
How long does a person who has glaucoma live?
Untreated glaucoma can cause blindness, but it's not itself directly fatal. Someone with glaucoma will live, on average, about as long as they would have if they'd gone blind from some other cause.
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation
Can blows to the head cause glaucoma?
Technically it is possible, but very unlikely. They type of Glaucoma would be Pigmentary glaucoma which can be (it is thought) caused by pigment granules being broken off from the iris and being deposited in the trabecular meshwork. This is technically possible, but so is winning the lottery and I'd expect to win the lottery before this happening...
