Match the following terms with their definitions

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
Mutagen		mutations that cause major changes to proteins because they "shift" the reading frame of the genetic code
Point Mutation		Mutations that affect entire regions of chromosomes, or multiple chromosomes
Chromosome Mutation		Any environmental factor that may cause a mutation

True

False

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

inversion

Insertion or deletion

base pair substitution

Base pair substitution within a single gene

Chromosomal duplication

Insertion or deletion within a single gene

Translocation

True or false: ALL mutations effect the resulting protein

True

False

Which of the following explains why mutations may have no affect on a protein?

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

Base pair substitution within a single gene

Chromosomal duplication

Insertion or deletion within a single gene
