What happens if the nucleotides are copied incorrectly during dna replication? explain what you think might occur to that cell/individual

Errors during DNA replication will result in mutations. Mutations are changes that can be either positive or negative. There are two examples of mutations that take place: point mutations and frameshift mutations.

A point mutation occurs when a single nucleotide changes and causes potential changes in a protein. There are three types of point mutations. They are called silent, missense, and nonsense.

Silent: DNA changes - RNA changes - Amino acid no change

Missense: DNA changes - RNA changes - Amino acid changes

Nonsense: DNA changes - RNA changes - Early stop codone

A frameshift mutation occurs when a nucleotide is either added or deleted from original DNA or RNA strands. These cause the length of the gene to be altered, ultimately creating a shift in the codone reading frame. This type of mutation results in diseases such as Tay-Sachs, which destroys nerve cells located in the brain and spinal cord.

they both go up but then go back down. they both end lower than they started. lastly, they both are competitive/the second on.
