Mutations

A change in a gene, group of genes or chromosome that results in a change in the proteins

Mutations that effect gametes and that will be passed on

to the next generation

A permanent change in the DNA sequence

which can affect a single gene or group of genes

One nucleotide base is changed so only one amino acid

is affected

A point mutation where one nucleotide base replaces an original nucleotide base

A substitution mutation that has no effect

on amino acids sequence

A mutation that results in an amino acid change

A nucleotide base is inserted or deleted shifting the entire DNA sequence. Entire protein will be changed.

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base

is removed from the DNA sequence.

A frameshift mutation where a nucleotide base is added

to the DNA sequence
