Gene Mutations

mutation that shifts the "reading" frame of the genetic message by inserting or deleting a nucleotide

• deletion mutation

• silent mutation

• frameshift mutation

• substitution mutation

The process of making a copy of DNA

• Point mutation

• DNA replication

• Silent mutation

• Gene mutation

a mutation in which one or more pairs of nucleotides are removed from a gene

• silent mutation

• insertion mutation

• deletion mutation

• missense mutation

The addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence

• deletion mutation

• insertion mutation

• point mutation

• non-sense mutation

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

• deletion mutation

• point mutation

• silent mutation

• gene mutation

change in a DNA sequence that affects genetic information

• point mutation

• gene mutation

• mutation

• silent mutation

A change in the sequence of the nucleotides in a gene

• gene mutation

• mutation

• silent mutation

• point mutation

A mutation that changes a single nucleotide, but does not change the amino acid created.

• deletion mutation

• gene mutation

• silent mutation

• point mutation

Mutation in which a single base is replaced, potentially altering the gene product.

• substitution mutation

• silent mutation

• gene mutation

• frameshift mutation

A base-pair substitution that results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.

• non-sense mutation

• silent mutation

• missense mutation

• deletion mutation
