When a point mutation involves the additon of a bast early inthe coding the translated protein is likely tobe?

I'm not sure what you are asking because of the typos. But here goes an answer for what I think you are trying to ask.





A point mutation involving the addition of a BASE early in the coding, The protein resulting from The gene will be entirely different from the point of addition, since the reading frame will be moved forward.





Example (HYPOTHETICAL)





Normal DNA


ATCGGTACCATT





Normal mRNA


UAGCCAUGGUAA The reading frame would be UAG-CCA-UGG-UAA...





mutated mRNA (a C added by mistake)


UAGCCCAUGGUAA The reading frame would be UAG-CCC-AUG-GUA..





This can cause the protein to be shorter, because it can create a stop codon somewhere with the addition, also it can make it longer, a stop codon no longer present where it should be.





Basically the protein would be non-functioning.

Cristy7 is correct.
Reply:a mutation is a change in a strand of genes and there are lots of translations of protein. but protein is DNA.


ATCGAATCGATTCGGTACTAGCCTGATCGTAATGCTAG... = DNA SECUENCE


TAGCTTAGCTAAGCCATGAGCGGACTAGCATTACGATC... = RNA TRANSLATION





D=R


N=N


A=A





A=T


T=A


C=G


G=C
