Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?

Answer:

Insertion mutation changes the reading frame of nucleotide of the DNA.

Explanation:

The mutation is the changes in the nucleotides sequence in the DNA. The mutation is of different kinds such as point mutation and frameshift mutation. In point mutation, only a single nucleotide sequence has changed and most of the point mutation is harmless. When the point mutation happens in the non-coding sequence of DNA it is harmless. But when the mutation occurs in coding strands of DNA it is harmful e.g. sickle cell anemia. The frameshift mutation is of two types - insertion and deletion mutation. In insertion mutation, an additional nucleotide sequence has added, which changes the pairing and produces defective protein to a large extent. The insertion mutation changes the reading frame of nucleotides in the DNA.

What could happen if the interactions between the parts of the body did not operate properly to maintain homeostasis?
mylen [45]
When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic balance is disrupted. Homeostatic imbalance may lead to a state of disease. Disease and cellular malfunction can be caused in two basic ways: by deficiency (cells not getting all they need) or toxicity (cells being poisoned by things they do not need).

Why is it important for a cell to be able to turn a gene off?
raketka [301]

A certain gene is only used for certain functions, and if that gene is always going, your body cant turn certain functions on and off, which can ultimately lead to a lot of health problems.
