types of mutations honors bio

Silent

When there is a change in the DNA but not the Amino Acids

Insertion

is a type of mutation where one or more nucleotide bases are added to the DNA sequence, potentially altering the resulting protein.

Deletion

is a type of mutation where one or more nucleotide bases are removed from the DNA sequence, which can disrupt the reading frame and alter the resulting protein.

Substitution

is a type of mutation where one nucleotide base is replaced by another, potentially changing one amino acid in the resulting protein.

Point mutation

is a type of mutation that involves a change in a single nucleotide base in the DNA sequence. This can result in a substitution, insertion, or deletion, affecting the protein produced.

Frameshift Mutation

These occur when insertion or deletion change the readings of a gene, leading in significant changes in the protein produced.
