How are point mutations and frame shift mutations different?

Point Mutations always result in [causing] a frame-shift mutation so they are the same.


Name two major types of mutations?

Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.


What mutations that happen at the beginning of the code are more harmful than those at the end because they change more of the message?

Frame Shift mutation.


What a is mutation?

A mutation is simply a change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in Biology are: substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame-shift. Contrary to popular belief, mutations are often harmless.


Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?

Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.


What are two types of frame shift mutations?

"I believe there is insertion and deletion, (one kind), and substitutions. (the second kind)" This answer is incorrect, the two types of frameshift mutation are insertion and deletion, these both alter the translation reading frame. A substitution point mutation in DNA is referred to as a single-nucleotide polymorphism and does not result in any change to the translational reading frame. insections and deletions are two types of frameshift mutations


What are 3 types of mutation?

Three types of gene mutations are substitution, insertion, and deletion. Another gene mutation would be frame shift. All these mutations can cause deformities of the gene.


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.


What are 4 type of mutation?

Four types of chromosomal mutations include substitution, insertion, deletion, and frame shift. These mutations can be either positive of negative to the organism.


What do point mutations and frame shift mutations have in common?

go look in your text book u have one u lazy ;) ;p


What are the factors that can increase number of mutations?

A mutation is simply an accidental change in your genes or DNA sequence. The types of mutations in biology are:substitution, insertion,delection and frame-shift.


How does mutation in the body cells cause damage?

Some mutaions of DNA in body cells affect genes that control cell division. This can result in the cells growing and dividing rapidly, producing cancer. If this is not right I'm sorry. I'm a little rusty on biology.
