What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in the structure and function of proteins.

Front

What are the types of mutations?

Back

Front

Define Substitution mutation.

Back

A Substitution mutation occurs when one base pair is replaced by another base pair.

Front

Define Insertion mutation.

Back

An Insertion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added into the DNA sequence.

Front

Define Deletion mutation.

Back

A Deletion mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are removed from the DNA sequence.
