Mutations

A change in a gene, group of genes or chromosome that results in a change in the proteins

• Replication

• Mutations

• Translation

• Transcription

One nucleotide base is changed so only one amino acid

is affected

• Substitution Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Translocation

• Inverse Mutation

A point mutation where one nucleotide base replaces an original nucleotide base

• Inversion Mutation

• Chromosomal Mutation

• Translocation

• Substitution Mutation

A substitution mutation that has no effect

on amino acids sequence

• Insertion Mutation

• Translocation

• Silent Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

A nucleotide base is inserted or deleted shifting the entire DNA sequence. Entire protein will be changed.

• Substitution Mutation

• Silent Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

• Translocation

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base

is removed from the DNA sequence.

• Deletion Mutation

• Substitution Mutation

• Translocation

• Silent Mutation

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base is added

to the DNA sequence

• Insertion Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

• Substitution Mutation

• Chromosomal Mutation

Where do mutations occur?

• DNA and RNA

• DNA 

• RNA

• mRNA and tRNA

What causes mutations?

• Mistakes in replication or environmental substances

• The amino acids

• Passed down by genetics

• It's how your born

ATTGAGCC - Mutated

The example above is an example of a

• Insertion

• Point mutation

• Deletion

• Substitution
