1
New cards

substitution

one base is replaced by another- can be silent, missense or nonsense

2
New cards

insertion

one or more bases added, can cause a frameshift

3
New cards

deletion

one or more bases removed, can cause a frameshift

4
New cards

silent

base changes, but amino acid stays the same, usually no change to protein

5
New cards

missense

base change causes a different amino acid, may change protein function

6
New cards

nonsense

base change creates a stop codon, protein is shortened and often non functional

7
New cards

frameshift

insertion/ deletion shifts the reading frame, usually changes many amino acids downstream
