Identify the mutation in the picture.

• Inversion
• Duplication
• Deletion

Original DNA: CAT GAT
New DNA: CAT AT
What mutation occurred?

• deletion
• substitution 
• tranverse
• insertion

Original DNA: ATC CAT / Mutated DNA: ATC GCAT

What mutation occurred?

• deletion
• insertion
• silent
• transverse

A mutation that does NOT change the amino acid that is produced is called a 

• deletion mutation
• inversion mutation
• silent mutation
• transverse mutation

Why are frameshift mutations like genetic insertion and deletions so harmful?

• They cause chromosomes to break
• Every amino acid following the mutation will be different
• They cause the DNA to relocated
• They burn out your clutch

Trisomy 21 means you have what?

• Three copies of chromosome 21
• Twenty one copies of chromosome 3
