something that has affected your appearance

when can't the mutations be inherited by the offspring?

occurs in the body cells - somatic mutation

occurs in the sex cells - gametic mutation

codes for a different amino acid

the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy

what is a silent mutation?

the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy

code for a different amino acid

codes for a different amino acid

the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy

1What is a mutation?
1. Aa physical problem
2. Ba change in the DNA sequence
3. Csomething that has affected your appearance
2what is the name of something that causes mutations?
1. Amutagens
2. BUV light
3. Cchemicals
3when can't the mutations be inherited by the offspring?
1. Aoccurs in the body cells - somatic mutation
2. Boccurs in the sex cells - gametic mutation
4what are the main types of mutations?
1. Asubstitution
2. Bnonsense
3. Cinsertion
4. Ddeletion
5. Emutagens
6. Fchromosomal
5what are the types of substitution mutation?
1. Anonsense
2. Binsertion
3. Csilent
4. Dmissense
5. Edeletion
6what types of mutations causes frameshift?
1. Asubstitution
2. Binsertion
3. Cdeletion
7frameshift is when a base is inserted or deleted and causes the bases/triplets move along one. resulting in codons shifting so the amino acids are coded differently and overall the protein may not carry out the correct cellular function.

9what is a silent mutation?
1. Acode for a stop codon
2. Bthe same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy
