Mutations

Master mutation types like point, duplication, inversion, and translocation. Understand their effects!

What type of mutation is this? duplication inversion deletion substitution What type of mutation is this? duplication inversion deletion substitution What type of mutation is this? duplication inversion deletion substitution What type of mutation is this? duplication inversion deletion substitution What type of mutation is this? point inversion translocation frameshift Sorting - Put these types of mutations into the correct column. Gene (Point) substitution insertion frameshift Both deletion Chromosome duplication inversion translocation Matching. Beneficial Mutation Has a positive effect on the organism. Usually gives an advantage. Neutral Mutation Has no effect on the organism. Neither gives an advantage or disadvantage. Harmful Mutation Some aspect causes problems for the organism. Puts them at a disadvantage. Matching - Point Mutations Silent Mutation Changes the codon but not the amino acid. No observable effect Nonsense Mutation Changes a codon to STOP Missense Mutation Changes a codon to another amino acid This individual was born with 2 different colored eyes. This is an example of a......... Beneficial Mutation Neutral Mutation Harmful Mutation
