Gene expression

Question 1

What are these gene mutations:
Addition
Substitution
Deletion
Inversion
Duplication
Translocation

Answer 1

addition - insertion of extra nucleotides in a DNA sequence or chromosome.

substitution - exchanges one base for another that could change a codon to one that encodes a different amino acid and cause a small change in the protein produced.

deletion - when a part of a base sequence of DNA or nucleotide is lost during DNA replication, causing a frame shift

translocation - when a chromosomal segment is moved from one position to another, either within the same chromosome or to another chromosome
