Unit 4 Mutations

Question 1

Point mutations:

1. substitution:
2. Insertion:
3. Deletions:
4. Inversion:

Answer 1

Point mutations: effecta 1 nuceltide so 1 amino acid

1. substitution: base pair is swapped and wrong
2. Insertion: add a base pair for no reason
3. Deletions: delete a single base pair
4. Inversion: 2 base pairs swap around

Question 2

SNPs

Answer 2

common muttions reasponsible for the differences in indiuals DNA
