Question 1

Match the following terms with their definitions

LS1.D

Required

Question 2

True

False

LS1.D

Required

Question 3

There is redundancy in the genetic code, several different codon's can equal the same amino acid

The RNA that is made can be destroyed and a new copy made.

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

Required

Question 4

inversion

Insertion or deletion

base pair substitution

Required

Question 5

Base pair substitution within a single gene

Chromosomal duplication

Insertion or deletion within a single gene

Question 1

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Chromosome Mutation		sequence of DNA that codes for a particular protein
Frameshift Mutation		any change in the sequence of DNA that may or may not affect the protein made by that sequence
gene		Mutation affecting a single gene or base pair within a gene
Point Mutation		mutations that cause major changes to proteins because they "shift" the reading frame of the genetic code
mutation		Mutations that affect entire regions of chromosomes, or multiple chromosomes
Mutagen		Any environmental factor that may cause a mutation
