Mutations Biology

Which type of mutation occurs when there is an addition or removal of a base?

• missense mutation

• nonsense mutation

• frameshift mutation

• point mutation

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 of the following would result in a frameshift mutation?

• Insertions only

• Substitution only

• Deletion only

• Insertions and Deletions

One nucleotide base is changed so only one amino acid

is affected

• Substitution Mutation

• Point Mutation

• Translocation

• Inverse Mutation
