Any change in the sequence of DNA is...

• transgenic shift

• Single Genotype

• Monohybrid Trait

• Mutation

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

A substitution mutation that has no effect

on amino acids sequence

• Insertion Mutation

• Translocation

• Silent Mutation

• Deletion Mutation

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

A nucleotide base is inserted or deleted shifting the entire DNA sequence. Entire protein will be changed.

• Substitution Mutation

• Silent Mutation

• Frameshift Mutation

• Translocation

Why are insertion and deletion 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.

Which type of mutation results in a premature stop codon?

• Silent mutation

• Missense mutation

• Nonsense mutation

• Frameshift mutation

If a DNA sequence changes from ATCG to ATGC, what type of mutation has occurred?

• Insertion

• Deletion

• Substitution

• Duplication

What is a frameshift mutation?

• A mutation that changes one amino acid in a protein

• A mutation that does not change the amino acid sequence

• A mutation that shifts the reading frame of the genetic message

• A mutation that results in a stop codon
