The three types of Mutations are:

Substitution

Deletion

Addition

For example:

Mutation stand to compare back to: ATG CAT AGG

Mutation#1: ATT CAT AGG

It is Substitution in this strand because the "G" was changed to a "T."

Mutation#2: ATG ATA GG

It is Deletion in this strand because the "A" was deleted.

Mutation#3: ATG CAT TAGG

It is Addition in this strand because another "G" was added to the end of the strand.

What are 3 types of mutations and what do they do?

The three different types of mutation are substitution, insertion, and deletion. They differ because deletion is missing a base, insertion has a base that was added, and substitution has a base that has been replaced.


What are four of chromosomal mutation?

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).

What are 3 types of mutation?

The three types of mutations are substitution (where one base is replaced with another), insertion (where an extra base is added), and deletion (where a base is removed). These mutations can alter the DNA sequence and potentially change the resulting protein.

Describe the three types of Mutations?

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.


What is a mutation called that has no effect on an organism?

A point mutation, in which one nitrogen base in a codon is substituted for another, may have no effect on an organism. This is true if the base substitution does not change the amino acid that the codon represents, or if the mutation occurs in a non-critical location in the protein so that the protein's structure is not changed significantly and the protein is still able to function.


Which types of mutation can add genes to a chromosomes?
