Mutation review Biology

What mutation has occurred here?

T-G-A-C-C-A

T-G-A-G-C-A

• Substitution

• Deletion

• Insertion

• Frameshift

Which of the following would result in a frameshift mutation?

• Insertions only

• Substitution only

• Deletion only

• Insertions and Deletions

DNA molecule segment is : TTACGCAAG

The mutated DNA segment is TTCGCAAG. This is an example of ___ mutation.

• Substitution

• Deletion

• Insertion

• Inversion

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

ATTTGAGCC- Original

ATTGAGCC - Mutated

The example above is an example of a

• Insertion- Frameshift

• Deletion- Substitution

• Deletion -Frameshift

• All of the above

Why are insertion and deletion (frameshift) 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.

Identify the DELETION mutation form the following:

ATG CCA AAT

• ATG TCA AAT

• ATG CCT AAA T

• ATC CA AT

• ATG CCA AAT

Any change in the sequence of DNA is...

• transgenic shift
• Single Genotype
• Monohybrid Trait
• Mutation

What are the three types of gene mutation?

• Insertion, Deletion, Subsitution

• Aberration, Deletion, Substitution

• Inversion, Duplication, Insertion

• Insertion, Duplication, Substitution

Mutations are SOMETIMES helpful to the organism.

• true

• false
