Genetic Mutations
2
Match type of DNA mutation on the left with the definition on the right.
Match type of DNA mutation on the left with the definition on the right.
- insertion
- deletion
- substitution
- a base is removed
- one base is switched for another
- a base is added
2
Match type mutation on the left with the definition on the right.
Match type mutation on the left with the definition on the right.
- frameshift
- missense
- nonsense
- silent mutation
- changes the codon to a STOP codon
- the genetic code shifts, resulting in a change of amino acids during translation
- has no effect on the amino acid produced during translation
- changes a single amino acid that will be produced during translation.

Compare the mutated DNA sequence to the original. Identify the mutation as either an insertion, deletion, or substitution, and whether it is a frameshift, missense, nonsense, or silent mutation.
