This type of mutation in DNA alters just one base in a DNA sequence
point mutation
translocation
inversion
trisomy
In this type of point mutation, one nitrogen base is exchanged for another, different base
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
In this type of point mutation, one extra base pair is inserted into a sequence of DNA
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
In this type of point mutation, one base pair is lost/deleted
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
This class of mutations changes the reading frame for transcription and translation
substitution

The bottom DNA sequence in the image has been altered by this type of mutation
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
The bottom DNA sequence in the image has been altered by this type of mutation
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
The bottom DNA sequence in the image has been altered by this type of mutation
substitution
insertion
deletion
translocation
This type of mutation occurs when the DNA change does not alter the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide
silent
missense
nonsense
6th sense
This type of mutation occurs when the DNA change alters a single amino acid in the polypeptide chain
silent
missense
nonsense
6th sense
This type of mutation occurs when the DNA change creates a premature STOP codon which truncates the polypeptide
silent
missense
nonsense
6th sense
This type of mutation is possible because certain codons may code for the same amino acid
silent
missense
nonsense
6th sense
