A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G.
Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair
A mutation of a single point :)

Which of theses is not a type of point mutation?
transcription
Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
A change in a single nucleotide in DNA-?
A mutation
What is the most common type of mutation?
A point mutation (transition) that changes A-G or C-T. 2/3 of SNPs are transitions.
What type of point mutation is dwarfism?
One type of dwarfism that is a point mutation is achondroplasia.
A mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called a(an)?
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
Which of theses is not a type of point mutation?
transcription
What type of mutation has occurred when dna segment is changed from aattagaaatag to attagaaatag?
a point mutation
Which type of mutation occurs when one base replaces another base in a DNA condon?
Substitution.
Mutations that change one or just a few of nucleotides in a gene on a chromosome are called what?
the correct answer is C. a substitution i know this cause i have this book to this question and point mutation is not one of the answer and i found the answer in the book -No its substituton you jack wagon your books wrong

What type of mutations involve one amino acid?
a point mutation
Name two major types of mutations?
Frameshift mutations and Point mutations. The difference between the two are that point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and frameshift mutations shift the "reading frame" of the genetic message.
What would happen if UV exposure caused a point mutation where a single base was changed within your DNA sequence?
It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .
