  • mutagens
  • UV light
  • chemicals

Frage 3

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

  • occurs in the body cells - somatic mutation
  • occurs in the sex cells - gametic mutation

Frage 4

Frage

Antworten
  • substitution
  • nonsense
  • insertion
  • deletion
  • mutagens
  • chromosomal

Frage 5

Frage
what are the types of substitution mutation?
Antworten
  • nonsense
  • insertion
  • silent
  • missense
  • deletion

Frage 6

Frage
what types of mutations causes frameshift?
Antworten
  • substitution
  • insertion
  • deletion

Frage 7

Frage
frameshift 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.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 8

Frage
what is nonsense?
Antworten
  • codes for a different amino acid
  • codes for a stop codon
  • the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy

Frage 9

Frage
what is a silent mutation?
Antworten
  • code for a stop codon
  • the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy
  • code for a different amino acid

Frage 10

Frage
what is missense?
Antworten
  • the same amino acid, because of redundancy due to degeneracy
  • codes for a stop codon
  • codes for a different amino acid

Frage 11

Antworten
  • True
  • False
