What is the effect of frameshift mutation? A frameshift mutation will in generalcause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids. The frameshift mutation will also alter the
What is the effect of mutations on the structure of proteins? What mutation shifts the "reading frame' of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide? What is a type of point mutation where one nucleotide and its partner are replaced by another pair of nucleotides?
Select the best answer. What is mutation? Give three examples of human diseases that are caused by genetic mutation. What is the effect of the mutations that cause Huntington's disease on the structure of the protein? How do mutations cause cancer? And does it happen from ONE cell division...
What is the difference between an epistatic gene and an hypostatic gene? Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gen...
During translation, a three-nucleotide sequence of mRNA called a codon specifies whichshould be linked up next. It is important to maintain the integrity of codons so thecan link the correct amino acids together and form the correct protein. When a frameshift mutation occurs, there is an error...
The second type of mutation is frameshift mutations, where a nucleotide is added or deleted in the DNA sequence, therefore altering the way DNA is read in order to be expressed into proteins. This also alters the length of the DNA sequence. Frameshift mutations that involve one nucleotide are...

Advantages of usingDrosophilato study GUMBA in autism. (1) Transgenic flies can be generated to overexpress or knockdown genes of interest in the whole organism or specific cells. The expression of proteins can be easily visualized using immunohistochemistry. The effect of gene knockdown on brain de...
What is the effect of a nucleotide-pair substitution that results in a nonsense mutation in a gene?DNA:DNA is the molecule that contains genetic information for an organism. During the time of existence for the DNA, mutations may occur which may affect the transc...
Discuss how to assess whether target gene is being translated in translation process of gene manipulation. How can gene flow effect poliploidy? What does deme mean in biology (genes/mating)? The functions ascribed to the genetic material are replication, ...
