D A C I (eye) Q K N A M E M L F/G (L sortof) C Section: Mutations See below Point = 1 DNA nucleotide changed to another A point mutation that results in a new amino acid A point mutation that results in a stop codon A point mutation, changing one base to another A DNA mutation that results in a base being removed, results in a frameshift When and insertion of deletion results in the codon sequence to change forward of the mutation. Frameshift mutations (caused by insertions or deletions) and nonsense mutations (point substitution mutations that change the codon to a stop codon) cause the biggest problems. The more amino acids affected, the bigger the affect so if the change is at the beginning of the coding sequence (DNA in the gene) then it will have more of an affect than if it were at the end of the coding sequence.
