D1.3 Mutations and Gene Editing Flashcards
1
Q
Same-sense mutations
A
Change in codon resulting in the same amino acid (neutral)
2
Q
Non-sense mutations
A
Change in codon resulting in a stop codon
3
Q
Mis-sense mutation
A
Change in codon resulting in a different amino acid
4
Q
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)
A
Inheritance results in the spread of a mutation; resulting in 1% of the population having it.
5
Q
CRISPR-cas9
A
Enables the modification of genes via Cas9 cutting the DNA at the target location
