There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one.
For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.

What are the major types of mutation event?
gene mutation, chromosomal abberations
What are the types of mutations that can occur?
nonsense mutation, missense mutation, frameshift muation, deletion or addition mutation
What are two types of mutation?
From another angle: beneficial and detrimental.
What are three types of chromosomal mutations?
Insertion, Deletion and Frameshift mutation. These are the 3 basic types of mutation, however, there are other types of mutations: substitution, translocation, duplication, inversion, transversion and transition.
Which types of mutation can be add genes to a chromosome?
A deletion mutation can take genes away from a chromosome.
Which types of mutation affects more genes a gene mutation or a chromosomal?
a gene is passed on from generations and a chromosome is just found in certain cells
What are four types of chromosomal mutations?
Four types of chromosomal mutations are Down syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 21), Kinefelter Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a male has an extra X-chromosome), Turner Syndrome (which is a mutation in which a female is missing an X-chromosome), and Patau Syndrome (which is a mutation in which there are three copies of chromosome 13).
Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
insertion and deletion
List two types of gene mutations?
Two types of gene mutations are chromosomal and point mutation. Chromosomal mutation alters a cell's chromosomes, while point mutation replaces single-base pair nucleotides with other nucleotides found in RNA or DNA.
What types of mutation results when bases are added to a gene?
Frameshift
What are the 4 types of mutations that can occur?
Insertion & deletion also known as frameshift mutationsubstitutionduplication mutationtranslocationGlad we could assist.
