Mutations

chemicals or physical agents in the environment that cause a mutation.

• mutations

• mutagens

• radiation

• checkpoints

inheritable changes in genetic information

• mutations

• checkpoints

• autosomes

• karyotype

mutations that produce changes in a single gene

• chromosomal mutations

• gene mutations

• frameshift mutation

• point mutation

mutations that produce changes in the whole chromosome

• gene mutations

• frameshift mutations

• point mutations

• chromosomal mutations

biomolecule that contains C, H, O, and N; needed by the body for growth and repair

• nucleic acids

• carbohydrates

• proteins

• lipids

sex cell with half the number of chromosomes as a body cel

• gamete

• somatic cell

• autosome

• sex chromosome

gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed

• point mutation

• frameshift mutation

• deletion mutation

• insertion mutation

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

• point mutation

• missense mutation

• nonsense mutation

• insertion mutation

gene mutation in which one base on a nucleotide is changed to a different base

• deletion mutation

• insertion mutation

• substitution mutation

• silent mutation

The example below is an example of a

ATTTGAGCC- Original

ATTGAGCC - Mutated

• insertion - frameshift

• deletion - frameshift

• deletion - substitution

• substitution - point
