Best Answer

1. Duplication - Where a portion of a chromosome is duplicated, resulting in multiple copies of the region.

2. Deletions - When a deletion of a nucleotide (nitrogen bases of a DNA) causes a shift of the mRNA codons. This will cause Alternations of Amino Acids.

3. Insertions - Occurs when an extra nucleotide is added.

4. Inversions - When a portion of a chromosome breaks off and reinserts itself in the same spot but in the reversed position

5. Translocation - When a portion of 2 chromosomes break off and switch locations

What causes a baby to come out deformed?

Mutations in their chromosomal DNA. Each parent gives chromosomes to the baby, and when they meet sometimes there are doubles of chromosomes, missing chromosomes, or mutated chromosomes which cause abnormalities in the DNA and overall the child.


What are the types of mutation?

There are a few mutations caused by entire chromosome changes. The times the number of chromosome can change can occur when the duplicated chromosomes pull apart and then produce a cell missing a chromosome or having an additional one. For example, XO or XXX or XXY. These are the sex chromosomes where XO means that either the second X is missing, or the Y is missing. Normal would be XX (female) or XY (male). These individuals are able to live with these added or deleted genes. All other missing or additional chromosomes are not compatible with life.
