Deletions and duplications of single-base pairs typically arise during homologous recombination and cause diseases. But what happens when a mutation occurs over multiple genes?
Rearrangements of chromosomes include deletions of DNA sequences and duplications of segments, both of which can encompass thousands to hundreds of thousands of bases. Why do these large rearrangements occur? For one, certain structural features of the genome, also referred to as genome architecture, can render various regions fragile and thus prone to events such as chromosome breakage, which often result in translocations, deletions, and duplications. Often, these alterations happen due to errors during cell division when chromosomes align (Figure 1). Homologous recombination between areas of concentrated repeated sequences frequently creates deletions and duplications. Because they commonly involve more than one gene, the disorders caused by these large deletion and duplication mutations are often severe.

An error in DNA duplication is known as?
a mutation
What mutation involves two chromosomes?
Inversion and duplication!
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a?
mutation
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a mutation?
true
How does mutation occur in the population?
Mutation can create new alleles, therfore can change allele frequencies in a population.
What is it called when a segment of a chromosome is repeated?
The mutation in which a segment of a chromosome is repeated is known as duplication.

What are different types of mutation?
Deletion, insertion, inversion, translocation, and duplication [for the ppl. Who dnt kno!!]
The mismatch of a DNA base pair during duplication can result in a mutation true or false?
ture
Describe four types of mutation resulting from the breakage of chromosome?
Deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation.
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.
4 chromosome mutations?
They include: trans-location, deletion, duplication and inversion. A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome.
Which is the single most important type of mutation that eventually allows for evolution via natural selection to occur?
gene duplication (might give advantages)
