Mutation
change in a DNA sequence that affects genetic
information.

Frameshift Mutation mutation that shifts the
reading frame of the genetic message by
inserting of deleting a nucleotide.

Mutate a Sentence
GENE NUCLEOTIDE BASE - CODON
The sun was hot but the old man did not get his
hat. The sentence represents a gene. Each
letter corresponds to a nucleotide base, and each
word represents a codon.

hat.
Deletion
Mutate the reading frame of this sentence by
deleting letters within the sentence.

Mutate a Sentence Insertion
The sun was hot but the old man did not get his
hat.
Insertion
Mutate the reading frame of this sentence by
inserting letters within the sentence.

beneficial to an organism? Apr'06 11th -7   A.
Phenotypic change may create an advantage over
other organisms. B. Recombined genetic material
improves genotype stability. C. Mitosis becomes a

Sickle-cell anemia is a disorder resulting from a
mutation that leads to the production of an
abnormal protein. Which component of the DNA
molecule provides instructions for the production
of the protein? Apr'06 11th -31   A. The
phosphate groups B. The sugar molecules C. The
sequence of nitrogen bases D. The bonds that hold
the sugars to the bases

A deletion of a DNA base from a gene affects an
organism by _____. Jul'06 11th -32   A. causing
future gametes to have additional chromosomes B.
changing the sequence of amino acids in a
protein C. causing chromosome fragments to form
long chains D. changing the structure of ribose
sugar in nucleic acids

The diagram shows three generations of cells
produced by a single cell through mitosis. In the
process, a single mutation occurred at the point
