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
Question 2
2.
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.
Question 3
3.
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.
Original DNA Sequence: T A C A C C T T G G C G A C G A C T
Mutated DNA Sequence: T A C A T C T T G G C G A C G A C T
Question 4
4.
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.
