Mutation

Question 1

2 types of mutation?

Answer 1

Gene/ point mutation
Chromosome mutation

Question 2

What is gene mutation

Answer 2

Alterance is based sequence at the level of a singular or a few base pairs on the DNA

Question 3

Chromosome mutation?

Answer 3

Alterance of the number of chromosomes or gross structure of chromosomes

Question 4

What affect does substituting a single base pair have

Answer 4

Can cause the codon to code for a different amino acid

Question 5

Does substituting a base always have an affect on the protein produced

Answer 5

No, bc of redundancy/ the idea of a degenerate code

Question 6

What affect does base pair addition or deletion have

Answer 6

Shifts the sequence out of frame resulting in multiple amino acid changes

Question 7

What do we call the change caused by base pair addition or deletion

Answer 7

frameshuft mutations

Question 8

3 types of gene mutation

Answer 8

base pair addition, mutation and substitution

Question 9
