- 3. When one nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide in the DNA sequence.
- 4. Mutation that are caused by insertions or deletions, which alter the reading frame of codons.
- 6. Technique in which a specific gene is intentionally made inoperative to study its function.
- 8. Sequence that remain identical or similar across a species or group of species.
Down
- 1. Substitution that is known as neutral mutations as they do not change the amino acid sequence due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
- 2. Mutations that can provide advantages to an organism and increase its fitness in a particular environment.
- 5. Mutations that cause diseases, developmental abnormalities, or reduce the organism's fitness and survival.
- 7. Mutations that don't significantly affect the organisms.
