Mutations

A mutation in which only one nucleotide is altered is called a:

• Chromosomal Mutation

• Negative Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Positive Mutation

If a mutation codes for an early stop codon, it's called a:

• Point mutation

• Missense mutation

• Nonsense mutation

• Insertion mutation

This figure is an example of:

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift

An insertion or deletion can also be described as a:

• Point mutation

• Selective Breeding

• Frameshift mutation

• Natural Selection

• no mutation
• substitution
• insertion
• deletion

The two kinds of frameshift mutations are:

• Deletion and insertion

• Substitution and silent

This figure is an example of a:

• Silent mutation

• Missense mutation

• Nonsense mutation

A mutation that alters a single codon changes a single amino acid. This is called a:

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift
