Ch9.3: Point Mutations

All mutations that involves the change of a single nucleotide.

• Point mutation

• Frameshift mutation

• Insertion mutation

• Deletion mutation

Which TWO types of mutations lead to frameshift mutations

• Insertion

• Substitution

• Deletion

• Inversion

Missense, Nonsense, and Silent mutations are all more specific results of a _____ mutation

• Insertion

• Deletion

• Substitution

A type of substitution mutation that does no lead to a change in the resulting amino acid sequence.

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift

A type of substitution mutation that cause a change to a single amino acid.

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift

A type of substitution mutation that cause a change that results in a stop codon, thus severely altering the protein.

• Missense

• Nonsense

• Silent

• Frameshift

T/F: Changes in even a single amino acid may cause a shape change in the resulting protein. This would affect the protein's ability to function.

• True

• False
