What two types of chromosomal mutations?
Two are insertion mutations and deletion mutations.
Can mutations be predicted?
No, Mutations can not be predicted and have no numeral order. Mutations are totally random AND MAY NOT BE PREDICTED!
What are examples of mutations and describe the consequences?
Examples of mutations include point mutations (substitution, insertion, deletion), chromosomal mutations (duplication, deletion, inversion, translocation), and silent mutations. These mutations can lead to various consequences such as changes in protein structure and function, genetic disorders, and cancer.
What are three main types of gene mutations what happens in each gene?
The three main types of gene mutations are point mutations, insertion mutations, and deletion mutations. Point mutations involve changes to a single nucleotide base. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotide bases. Deletion mutations involve the removal of nucleotide bases in a gene sequence.
Is it true that only mutations in gametes can be passed from parent to offspring?
Gametic mutations occur in the cells of the gonads (which produce sperm and eggs) and may be inherited. There are two types of mutations that can occur in gamete cells: 1. Gene Mutations 2. Chromosomal Mutations
