Nucleotide Mutations

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

• substitution

• insertion

• deletion

• translocation

In this type of point mutation, one base pair is lost/deleted

• substitution

• insertion

• deletion

• translocation
