The diagram below shows three types of mutations. Determine which type of mutation is shown in each box. Move ONE correct answer to each box. Not all answers will be used.
Different types of mutations can occur in DNA. The diagram represents a type of mutation:
Which statement describes the mutation in the diagram?
Sickle-shaped red blood cells result from a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin. This mutation results in sickle-cell anemia. A partial sequence of bases from a normal hemoglobin gene and a sequence that results in sickle-cell anemia are shown below.
What type of mutation is depicted in this sequence?
Below is an mRNA codon chart.
Use the Codon Chart and your knowledge to answer the following questions.
From the codons provided in the answer choices below, which mutation to the mRNA codon CGA will affect the protein produced?
Observe the mutations in the diagram below.
Which mutations would cause a frameshift? Select TWO mutations.
Exposure to the building material "asbestos" has been linked to certain types of cancers. Asbestos causes mutations in the p53 gene, which controls tumor suppression.
Which statement best explains why people with cancer due to asbestos exposure do NOT pass the mutation on to their offspring?
A mutation is shown in the diagram below.
Based on the diagram, what kind of mutation has occurred?
Which statement below most accurately explains why mutations can be silent?
