Categorize the three types of mutations

  • Genes are switched to different places, deleted, or inserted into a chromosome.
  • The cell does not divide correctly in mitosis or meiosis and the daughter cells contain an unequal amount of chromosomes.
  • DNA bases are matched to an incorrect base, deleted, or inserted into a DNA strand improperly.
  • Chromosmal mutation
  • Mutation in the DNA code
  • Nondisjunction

DNA framshifts are caused by ______________ (adding) or _____________ (removing) DNA. Frameshifts are usually not good for an organism and leads to death. Every amino acid brought by _________ before the mutation will be good but after deleting or removing DNA every _______________ made after is incorrect. So an incorrect protein is made.
