• Monohybrid Trait
• Mutation

Why are insertion and deletion mutations so harmful?

• They change all of the codons from the mutation on down the line, which changes the amino acid sequence
• They insert things that an organism doesn't need.
• They often delete things that organisms need.
• Insertion and deletions are not any more harmful than substitution mutations.

Would a mutation in the DNA of a skin cell be passed on to an organism's offspring?

• Yes, because any change to the DNA is passed on to the offspring
• Maybe. Sex cells only use half of the body's genetic code. It might get the copy of a gene that wasn't mutated.
• No. Only mutations that occur in the gametes (sex cells) are passed on to the offspring
• Without knowing the animal, it would be hard to tell whether or not the mutation would be passed on.

• Make an organism more suited to live in its environment.

• Make organisms live shorter lives

• Cause organisms to grow extra limbs.

• Deletion Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Insertion Mutation
