Mutations Practice Flashcard

A type of substitution mutation that results in a premature stop codon, leading to incomplete protein synthesis.

A chromosomal mutation where a piece of one chromosome detaches and reattaches to a different chromosome.

A segment of DNA that encodes for a protein.

mRNA sequences read in chunks of three nucleotides, each coding for a specific amino acid.

A mutation where a piece of a chromosome is copied and remains within the chromosome.

A type of substitution mutation that results in a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein.

A mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence of a protein due to redundancy in the genetic code.

A mutation where a segment of DNA is removed, potentially leading to a frameshift in the reading frame.

A structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information.

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
