• inversion mutation
• silent mutation
• transverse mutation

• Translocation

• Silent Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

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

• Substitution Mutation

• Silent Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

• Translocation

Are all mutations bad?

• Yes
• No

NGSS.HS-LS4-2

Why are insertion and deletion 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.
