Mutation is...

• a change in the genetic makeup of an organism

• A random change in the nitrogen base sequence of the DNA

• A change in the number or structure of the chromosomes

• a structure of chromosomes in the y-intercept form

Gene Mutations: Substitution

• An insertion of one base pair causes a shift in the reading frame

• The process that breaks down sugars, to release ATP

• chromosome mutations and explore the significance of these changes

• one nucleotide base pair substituted for another

Gene Mutations: Insertion

• a piece of a chromosome is either deleted

• A change in the number or structure of the chromosomes

• A random change in the nitrogen base sequence of the DNA

• one or more nucleotide base pairs added into a DNA sequence

Deletion

• a piece of a chromosome is either deleted

• Changes the amino acid sequence, which changes the shape of the protein made, therefore changing the function

• a piece of a chromosome is either deleted

• A random change of the nitrogen bases found on the DNA

Additions are chromosomes with extra parts

• True

• False
