Bio I Mutations

What mutation has occurred here? 
T-G-A-C-C-A
T-G-A-G-C-A

• Substitution
• Deletion
• Insertion
• Frameshift 

Which of the following would result in a frameshift mutation?

• Insertions only
• Substitution only
• Deletion only
• Insertions and Deletions

A mutation in which only one nucleotide is altered is called a:

• Frameshift Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Insertion Mutation

DNA molecule segment is : TTACGCAAG
The mutated DNA segment is TTCGCAAG. This is an example of ___ mutation.

• Substitution
• Deletion
• Insertion
• Inversion

A mutation is defined as:

• A change in the cell's structure

• Anything that changes in an embryo

• Any change in the physical features of a human

• A change in the DNA sequence

ATTTGAGCC- Original
ATTGAGCC - Mutated
The example above is an example of a 

• Insertion- Frameshift
• Deletion- Substitution
• Deletion -Frameshift
• All of the above

What mutation has occurred here? 
T-G-A-C-C-A
T-G-A-G-C-A

• Substitution
• Deletion
• Insertion
• Frameshift 

Why are insertion and deletion (frameshift) 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.

Genetic mutations can be...

• beneficial, harmful, or neutral

• beneficial only

• harmful only

• neutral only

A change in a single nucleotide in a gene sequence is called a...

• Point Mutation
• Single Error
• Mono Mutation
• Isolated Mutation
