True or False - ALL mutations are harmful.

• True

• False

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Name the mutation effect - This mutation still codes for the same amino acid so there is no affect on the protein.

• Silent

• Missense

• Frameshift

• Nonsense

Name the mutation effect - This mutation cause a codon to code for a different amino acid than the original one.

• Silent

• Missense

• Frameshift

• Nonsense

Name the mutation effect - This mutation causes the "reading frame" of the mRNA codons to shift forwards or backwards, changing many amino acids.

• Silent

• Missense

• Frameshift

• Nonsense
