Sleeping does not directly cause mutations. Mutations are changes that occur in the DNA of cells, and they can happen due to various factors such as exposure to radiation, chemicals, or errors during cell division. While sleep is important for overall health and proper cell function, it does not trigger mutations in DNA.

Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?

Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.


What is an example of what a mutation can cause?

Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer

How does a mutation in a sex cells differ from a mutation in a non sex cell?

A mutation in a sex cell may be passed on to an offspring. A mutation in a somatic (body) cell cannot be passed on to an offspring, but can potentially cause cancer in the person who has the mutation.
