Mutation Review

What is a gene

• a section of DNA that codes for a trait

• a pair of pants that are made of denim

• the whole entire chromosome found in the nucleus

What is a genetic mutation

• the making of a zombie

• any change in the DNA base pairs

• the process of duplicating the DNA in a cell

NGSS.HS-LS4-2

A substitution mutation occurs when

• a base pair is missing from the DNA strand

• a base pair is added to the DNA strand

• a base pair is replaced with a different base pair

An insertion/additon mutation occurs when

• a base pair is missing from the DNA strand

A deletion mutation occurs when

• a base pair is missing from the DNA strand

• a base pair is added to the DNA strand

• a base pair is replaced with a different base pair
