Mutations BR

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

• Frameshift Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Insertion Mutation

ATT-TGA-GCC- Original

ATT-GAG-CC - Mutated

The example above is an example of a

• Insertion- Frameshift

• Deletion- Substitution

• Deletion -Frameshift

• All of the above

Original DNA: CAT GAT CCA

New DNA: CAT TGA TCC A

What mutation occurred?

• deletion

• substitution

• tranverse

• insertion

Are all mutations bad?

• Yes
• No
• Maybe?

Mutations can benefit humans because they can:

• Cause illness

• Make an organism more suited to live in its environment.

• Make organisms live shorter lives

• Cause organisms to grow extra limbs.

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

Mutations are random.

• True

• False

True or false, mutations create genetic diversity?

• True

• False

When do genetic mutations get passed from parent to offspring?

• When the Gametes (sex cells) are mutated

• When the mutation changes the order of DNA

• When the mutation occurs randomly

Mutations can be...

• Harmful

• Beneficial

• Neutral

• All of the Above
