Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is primarily caused by a mutation in the ABCD1 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the transport of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) into peroxisomes. This mutation typically results in a loss of function of the ABCD1 protein, leading to the accumulation of VLCFAs in the body. The genetic mutation is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, meaning it predominantly affects males, while female carriers may exhibit milder symptoms.

What type of mutation occurs when part of a chromosome is missing after replication?
Deletion
A mutation that occurs at a specific location within a nucleotide sequence is called a?
Point mutation and it can be effective or silent depend upon at the site of codon
What type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring?
Sex cells
What type of mutation results in the Reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome?
The type of mutation that results in the reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome is called an inversion mutation. It occurs when a segment of the chromosome breaks and is reinserted in the opposite orientation. This can disrupt the normal functioning of genes located within the inverted region.
Which type of mutation causes the most change to the protein produced?
A silent mutation
What is the type of mutation that causes Adrenoleukodystrophy?
deletion
what type of mutation occurs when a nucleotide is left out?

What type of mutation result when bases are added to gene?
Frame shift mutation occurs when a new codon in inserted. Point mutations occurs when one base, sometimes two, are inserted.

Is adrenoleukodystrophy dominant or recessive?
This disease results from a mutation on the x-chromosome. It's recessive considering that a dominant will only cover up things that have occur, for example the damage that has occured, with something else. A recessive will continue to give latent traits. The allele in Adrenoleukodystrophy can only be caused by heredity mutation thus making it recessive.
Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
A point mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA codon. This type of mutation can result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein sequence, which may affect the structure and function of the protein. Examples of point mutations include substitutions, insertions, and deletions of a single base pair.

A mutation occurs in an eye cell of a fully grown monkey what will most likely happen to the monkey?
This depends on what kind of mutation occurs. You don't say what the mutation/result of the mutation is, so who knows what will happen to the monkey
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.
What type of mutation results in the Reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome?
The type of mutation that results in the reversal of the direction of part of the chromosome is called an inversion mutation. It occurs when a segment of the chromosome breaks and is reinserted in the opposite orientation. This can disrupt the normal functioning of genes located within the inverted region.
