Ch9.3 Genetic Mutations

Any type of mutation that is caused by only a single nucleotide change.

• Deletion Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Insertion Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

A mutation in which a single nucleotide is wrong. For instance, a "T" gets changed into a "C".

• Insertion Mutation

• Substitution Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

Silent, Missense, and Nonsense are all forms of ______ mutations

• Frameshift mutations

• Insertion mutations

• Substitution mutations

• Deletion mutations

A type of mutation where the nucleotide change did not affect the amino acid produced.

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift

The type of mutation in which the nucleotide change affected a single amino acid in the protein sequence.

• Silent

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Frameshift

The type of mutation that caused protein synthesis to stop because the nucleotide change created a stop codon.

• Silent

• Nonsense

• Missense

• Frameshift

Of the three types of substitution mutations, which one is the most likely to have a serious impact?

• Silent

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Frameshift

The type of mutation where a single nucleotide is added to the sequence.

• Deletion

• Substitution

• Nonsense

• Insertion

The type of mutation where a single nucleotide is removed from the sequence.

• Substitution

• Insertion

• Deletion

• Silent

Which two types of mutations lead to frameshift?

• Substitution and Insertion

• Deletion and Insertion

• Substitution and Deletion

• None of the above
