Mutations
DNA Mutations (point mutations) - deletion, insertion, duplication, and substitution
-remember all of these can cause changes in the resultant protein - no start codon, early stop, no stoping, change in amino acid, or no change
Chromosomal Mutations - deletion, insertion, duplication, and translocation
-these change entire sections of the chromosome(chunks of DNA)
BR Quiz over Mutations
Up Next:
Start Evolutionary Classification
