Frameshift
Insertion
Deletion
This type of mutation occurs when part of a chromosome is added "backwards" meaning the genes would be read in reverse order.
Insertion
Inversion
Translocation
Deletion
This type of mutation occurs when part of a chromosome is broken off and incorrectly added to a different chromosome.
Insertion
Inversion
Translocation
Deletion
