In the DNA, the sequence of nucleotides determines how proteins are built, with each segment of three nucleotides encoding a single amino acid. When one nucleotide is inserted into the sequence, the whole sequence shifts, and all the triples are changed completely, which can cause detrimental mutations.
What else can I help you with?
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in 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.
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation

A nucleotide sequence changes from TAGCAT to TAGGCAT. what type of mutation occured?
Insertion?
Can a point mutation be frameshift mutation?
No
During DNA replication an extra cytosine base is added to the DNA what type of mutation is this?
A frameshift mutation
Is a change in the base sequence of a DNA molecule?
a kind of mutation called deletion or insertion
What is a change in the base sequence of DNA molecule?

In a certain mutation several nucleotides which weren't there before are put into a sequence This is an example of a?
This is an example of an insertion mutation. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotides into a DNA sequence, which can lead to significant changes in the genetic code and potentially disrupt normal gene function.

Adding an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence producers what type of mutation?
Insertion
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
A frameshift mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence. This type of mutation alters the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence downstream of the insertion point.
During DNA replication two extra guanine bases are added to the DNA. What type of mutation is this?
frameshift mutation
What are the three ways chromosomes can cause mutations?
point mutation, insertion and deletion
