Mutations

Many gene mutations do not affect an organisms phenotype.

• somatic cell

• ovarian cell

• gamete

• heart cell

A type of mutation in which one nucleotide is substituted for another.

• insertion mutation

• inversion mutation

• point mutation

• translocation mutation

A type of mutation that affects a group of genes on a chromosome.

• Gene mutation

• Chromosomal Mutation

• Analogous Mutation

• Homologous Mutation

A type of mutation in which an insertion or deletion caused the entire reading frame of codons to be shifted.

• frameshift mutation

• translocation

• duplication

• point mutation

Mutation in which a piece of one chromosome moves to a non-homologous chromosome.

• translocation
