Mutations

2. type of mutation that results in the single substitution of one amino acid in the polypeptide which results
6. genetic mutation by which an extra nucleotide is placed in a DNA sequence
7. Mutation occurring at a specific base pair in the genetic sequence
8. any change in the DNA sequence
10. transfer of a DNA fragment of DNA from one location in the genome to another location
11. mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid coded for and, therefore does not cause any phenotypic change
13. type of mutation that results when a DNA segment is reversed within a chromosome

1. type of mutation caused by radiation or a chemical agent
3. genetic mutation by which one based in a DNA sequence is replaced by another base
4. genetic mutation by which one base or a group of base pairs is eliminated entirely from a DNA sequence
5. type of mutation that occurs without chemical change or radiation but due to errors made in DNA replication; "random" mutation
9. mutation that alters the reading frame of codons, which usually results in the incorporation of different amino acids into the polypeptide
12. type of mutation that occurs when a codon for an amino acid is converted into a termination codon
