What is a mutation?
Respuesta
  • a physical problem
  • a change in the DNA sequence
  • something that has affected your appearance

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
what is the name of something that causes mutations?
Respuesta
  • mutagens
  • UV light
  • chemicals

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
when can't the mutations be inherited by the offspring?
Respuesta
  • occurs in the body cells - somatic mutation
  • occurs in the sex cells - gametic mutation

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
what are the main types of mutations?
Respuesta
  • substitution
  • nonsense
  • insertion
  • deletion
  • mutagens
  • chromosomal

Pregunta 5

Pregunta
what are the types of substitution mutation?
Respuesta
  • nonsense
  • insertion
  • silent
  • missense
  • deletion

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
what types of mutations causes frameshift?
Respuesta
  • substitution
  • insertion
  • deletion

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
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.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 8

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

Pregunta 9

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

Pregunta 10

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

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
mutations can be only harmful
Respuesta
  • True
  • False
