structural mutation have four types of change in the chromosomal structure: TRANSLOCATION, INVERSION, DELETION AND DUPLICATION.

while:

numerical mutation results from nondisjunction, or the failure of a pair of homologous choromosomes or a pair of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis or mitosis. The effect of nondisjunction during mitosis is not harmful as the effect of nondisjunction during meiosis.

What is stickler syndrome caused by?

Stickler syndrome is caused by mutations in genes responsible for producing collagen, a protein important for the structural integrity of connective tissues such as cartilage and the vitreous of the eye.

Describe how gene mutations affect protein production.?

gene mutations can affect protein production through various mutations as nonsense mutations are any genetic mutation that leads to the RNA sequence becoming a stop codon. missense mutations are mutations that changes an amino acid from one to another. Slient mutations are mutations  that dont affect the protein at all.


Can mutations be predicted?
