Mutation

A type of mutation that affect every codon beyond the point of mutation.

• Point Mutation

• Silent Mutation

• Nonsense Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

Does the point mutation always alter the amino acid sequence?

• Yes

• No

if a single nucleotide base is added or deleted the entire reading frame will?

• shift, causing a frameshift mutation
• move, causing a delection
• move, causing an addition
• shift, causing a deletion
