A silent mutation is a type of mutation that does not change the amino acids produced. This occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the corresponding codon, often due to the redundancy of the genetic code. As a result, the protein remains unchanged, maintaining its normal function.
What else can I help you with?
How many amino acids would this protein have if a mutation occurred and the 7th dna base pair of the dna strand was changed from a-t to t-a?
This mutation would cause a frameshift mutation, shifting the reading frame of the DNA sequence. Most likely, this would lead to a completely different protein being translated, resulting in a protein with a different sequence of amino acids from the original protein. The number of amino acids would depend on the specific changes in the protein sequence caused by the frameshift mutation.
Why is point mutation dangerous?
A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
As a result of the incorrect sequence of amino acids will be translated into a protein-resulting in a mutation?
Missence mutation
What is one or two nucleotides that are changed in a certain mutation?
In a point mutation, a change in a single nucleotide can lead to a specific mutation. For example, a substitution mutation occurs when one nucleotide is swapped for another, such as A to T or C to G. This change can result in different amino acids being coded for in the protein sequence.
What type of mutation results in abnormal amino acids sequence?
A missense mutation results in an abnormal amino acid sequence. This type of mutation occurs when a single nucleotide change in the DNA sequence leads to the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein product. Depending on the specific change, this can impact the protein's function and stability. Other types of mutations, such as nonsense or frameshift mutations, can also disrupt the amino acid sequence but in different ways.
Which type of mutation does not change the amino acids produced?
Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes nothing but a molecular marker. or Silent

How does a mutation change a codon for one amino acid into a different codon for the same amino acid?
A mutation can change a codon for one amino acid into a different codon for the same amino acid through a process called silent mutation. This type of mutation occurs when a change in the DNA sequence does not alter the amino acid that is coded for, resulting in the same protein being produced.

A frame shift mutation destroys the correct sequence of amino acids from the point of the mutation. The protein produced by a frame shift mutation would more than likely be nonfunctional.
Mutation can be a source of genetic what?
Amino Acids.
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.

Missence mutation
How many amino acids are affected from point mutation?
A point mutation can affect the protein in a different ways. If the point change causes a silent mutation then it doesnt affect at all. When the point nucleotide change make a different amino acid, then it may alters the function of protein. If it make to forma a stop codon (TAA, TAG, TGA) then the protein synthesis stops at the point where it is changed.
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation, such as an insertion of one nucleotide, is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid. This type of mutation shifts the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a change in the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation site.
How does a frameshift mutation impact the function of a protein?
A frameshift mutation can change the reading frame of a gene, causing a shift in the way the genetic code is read. This can lead to a different sequence of amino acids being produced, which can alter the structure and function of the protein. This can result in a non-functional or dysfunctional protein being produced.
When would a mutation in DNA not cause a change in how the gene is expressed or in which proteins are made?
If a point mutation occurs in a location that is not critical to the structure and function of the protein, it will not change the way the gene is expressed. Also, since most amino acids have more than one codon, if the point mutation resulted in a codon for the same amino acid without the mutation, it will not change the way the gene is expressed.
