Describe the three types of Mutations?

Answer 1

The three major types of mutations generally are point mutation, insertion, and deletion. Point Mutation - This is when one base is substituted or changed into another base. Typically it changes from a purine to a purine, or pyrimidine to pyrimidine Insertion - A base is inserted into the DNA sequence shifting all of the other bases. Deletion - A base is deleted from the DNA sequence shifting all of the other bases.

Answer 2

The 4 different types of mutations are:

1. Harmful: most common. They reduce an organism's chance for survival

ex. sickle cell anemia

2. Helpful: which produces desirable traits

ex. fruit more resistant to diseases

3. Neutral: which produces no change so they aren't harmful or helpful

4. Lethal: results in immediate death of an organism

Answer 3

1. Silent mutation: A mutation that does not result in any change to the amino acid sequence of a protein.
2. Missense mutation: A mutation that leads to a change in one amino acid in the protein sequence, which can affect the structure and function of the protein.
3. Nonsense mutation: A mutation that creates a premature stop codon in the protein-coding sequence, resulting in a truncated and usually nonfunctional protein.
