What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
An insertion mutation usually causes more defects than a point mutation because insertion mutations?
An insertion mutation usually causes more defects than a point mutation because it adds extra nucleotides into the DNA sequence, potentially disrupting the reading frame of the gene. This frameshift can lead to the production of a completely different protein or a truncated protein, significantly altering its function. In contrast, point mutations typically affect only a single nucleotide and may result in a silent, missense, or nonsense mutation, often having less drastic effects on the protein's overall structure and function. Thus, the broader impact of insertion mutations can lead to more severe phenotypic consequences.
What type of mutation is a point mutation?
A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G. Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair A mutation of a single point :)
What is the difference between a point mutation and an insertion and deletion?
Because a point mutation is the replacement of a single base with another base. Thus, if the replacement base codes for the same type amino acid, such as a hydrophobic type amino acid replacing a hydrophobic amino acid, no change to the protein coded for will occur. If a deletion mutation occurs then the code for the protein is disrupted and the protein product is probably going to be useless to the body and may even cause a disease.
What type of mutation is depicted here?
I'm sorry, but I cannot see any images or specifics related to the mutation you're referring to. If you describe the mutation or provide details, I can help identify the type of mutation, such as point mutation, insertion, deletion, or frameshift.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

Which is not a frameshift mutation substitution insertion deletion or point mutation?
A point mutation is not a frameshift mutation. Point mutations involve changes in a single nucleotide base, while frameshift mutations involve the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
What is never a frameshift mutation?
A point mutation is never a frameshift mutation because it involves the substitution of a single nucleotide for another rather than the insertion or deletion of nucleotides that would disrupt the reading frame of a gene.
What type of mutation occurred in the strand of DNA?
A point mutation occurred in the DNA strand. This is a change in a single nucleotide base, such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion.
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.
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
