Types of Genetic Mutations

Missesnse substitution mutation

• 
• A mutation that results in a different amino acid being incorporated into a protein

• A mutation that introduces a premature stop codon

• A mutation that does not affect protein function

Inversion mutation

• 
• A mutation that involves the deletion of a segment of DNA

• A mutation that adds extra nucleotides to a DNA sequence

• A mutation that replaces one nucleotide with another

Frameshift insertion

• 
• A process of DNA replication that occurs in the nucleus.

• A method of protein synthesis that involves ribosomes and mRNA.

• A form of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis.

Frameshift deletion

• 
• A type of genetic recombination

• A process of DNA replication

• A method of gene therapy

Silent substitution mutation

• 
• A mutation that results in a premature stop codon

• A mutation that changes one amino acid to another

• A mutation that alters the reading frame of the gene

Mutation

• 
• A type of cell division

• A method of protein synthesis

• A form of genetic engineering

Translocation mutation

• 
• A mutation that involves the exchange of genetic material between non-homologous chromosomes.

• A mutation that results in the deletion of a segment of DNA.

• A mutation that causes a change in a single nucleotide.

Nonsense substitution mutation

• 
• A mutation that changes one amino acid to another

• A mutation that does not affect the protein sequence

• A mutation that causes a frameshift in the DNA sequence
