Front

What is a Frameshift Insertion mutation?

Back

A type of mutation where one or more nucleotides are added to the DNA sequence, causing a shift in the reading frame of the genetic code.

Front

What is a Frameshift Deletion mutation?

Back

A type of mutation where one or more nucleotides are removed from the DNA sequence, resulting in a shift in the reading frame.

Front

What is a Substitution Missense mutation?

Back

A type of mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another, leading to a change in one amino acid in the protein.

Front

What is a Point mutation Silent?

Back

A mutation that changes a single nucleotide but does not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.

Front

What is the significance of the order of Nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The order of nitrogenous bases determines the genetic information and characteristics/traits of an organism.

Front

What is a Substitution mutation?

Back

A mutation where one base pair is replaced by another base pair in the DNA sequence.

Front

What is a Deletion mutation?

Back

A mutation that involves the loss of one or more nucleotides from the DNA sequence.

Front

What is an Insertion mutation?

Back

A mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into the DNA sequence.

Front

What are Carbohydrates?

Back

Polymers made up of sugar monomers that serve as energy sources and structural components in organisms.

Front

What are Proteins?

Back

Polymers made up of amino acid monomers that perform a wide range of functions in the body, including catalyzing reactions and providing structure.
