1 maj 2019 · A deletion mutation is a mistake in the DNA replication process which removes nucleotides from the genome. A deletion mutation can remove a single nucleotide, or entire sequences of nucleotides.
A mutation in a coding sequence may alter the sequence and function of the protein product. A frameshift mutation changes the reading frame through insertions or deletions to produce an entirely novel product.
For example, single-stranded DNA breaks are repaired primarily by Base Excision Repair, bulky DNA adducts, and crosslinks are repaired by Nucleotide Excision Repair, and smaller nucleotide mutations, such as alkylation are repaired by Mismatch Repair.
Deletion mutations. In the top sequence three nucleotides comprising a single codon are deleted. This shortens the resulting protein product by one amino acid but does not affect the rest of its sequence. In the lower section, a single nucleotide is deleted.
Deletions involve the loss of DNA sequences. Phenotypic effects of deletions depend on the size and location of deleted sequences on the genome. For instance, deletions that span a centromere...
A deletion mutation occurs when a wrinkle forms on the DNA template strand and subsequently causes a nucleotide to be omitted from the replicated strand (Figure 3).
A mutation is a heritable change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism's DNA that ultimately serves as a source of genetic diversity. A single base change can create a devastating genetic...
