Name the process happening at number 1 in the diagram.

• DNA Replication

• Translation

• Mutation

• Transcription

TRUE or FALSE. The removal of one base to the DNA sequence might lead to a change on the succeeding (next) codon.

• True

• False

DOES THE DNA MUTATION ALWAYS ALTER THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE?

• Yes

• No

Which of the following statement is NOT true?

• Point mutation involves a chemical change in just one base pair.

• Frameshift mutation occurs when there is an addition or removal of a base.

• Nonsense mutation occurs when the DNA change creates a stop codon that causes the translation to terminate early.

• Point mutation affect every codon beyond the point of mutation .
