This type of mutation results in part of one chromosome reattaching to a different chromosome (e.g. part of chromosome 2 attaches to chromosome 6)

• deletion

• inversion

• translocation

• nondisjunction

If a mutation affects a large part of a chromosome or a large number of genes, it is known as a

• gene mutation

• chromosome mutation

This kind of mutation means the protein is not produced after the mutation point due to the introduction of a "STOP" codon.
