There are at least 3 copies of every gene, so if one is mutated, the other's are used instead

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Frameshift Mutation		sequence of DNA that codes for a particular protein
gene		any change in the sequence of DNA that may or may not affect the protein made by that sequence
mutation		Mutation affecting a single gene or base pair within a gene

Point Mutation		Mutations that affect entire regions of chromosomes, or multiple chromosomes
Chromosome Mutation		Any environmental factor that may cause a mutation
