BIO: Mutations & Genetics

TYPE OF MUTATION where one or more chromosomes are present in extra copies or are deficient in number. This changes the total number of chromosomes present in the nucleus.

• aneuploidy

• euploidy

• point mutation

• frameshift mutation

The natural process in which genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. This is a natural process during Meiosis I and must occur to ensure genetic recombination and variation in the offspring.

• translocation

• crossing over

• inversion

• metaphase

TYPE OF CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION where genetic material is exchanged between two nonhomologous chromosomes during meiosis

• inversion

• substitution

• translocation

• crossing over

TYPE OF CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION where a segment of the chromosome breaks off and results in missing genetic material.

• deletion

• silent

• frameshift

• point

TYPE OF CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION where a segment of the chromosome breaks off but reattaches upside down

• translocation

• frameshift

• inversion

• silent

TYPE OF GENE MUTATION that involves a change in one nucleotide. It can be silent or it can alter the amino acid sequence of the protein.

• Point mutation

• Deletion mutation

• Inversion mutation

• Translocation
