Gene Mutations

Front

A change in a gene, group of genes or chromosome that results in a change in the proteins.

Back

Mutations

Front

One nucleotide base is changed so only one amino acid is affected.

Back

Point Mutation

Front

A point mutation where one nucleotide base replaces an original nucleotide base

Back

Substitution Mutation

Front

A substitution mutation that has no effect on amino acids sequence

Back

Silent Mutation

Front

A mutation that results in an amino acid change

Back

Expressed Mutation

Front

A nucleotide base is inserted or deleted shifting the entire DNA sequence. Entire protein will be changed.

Back

Frameshift Mutation

Front

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base is removed from the DNA sequence.

Back

Deletion Mutation

Front

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base is added to the DNA sequence

Back

Insertion Mutation

Front

Mutations that involve parts of or all of a chromosome

Back

Chromosomal Mutation

Front

A point mutation where DNA adenine (A) is replaced by thymine (T) resulting in a single amino acid change during translation(affects blood cell shape and function)

Back

Sickle Cell Anemia
