Point MutationPoint Mutation
Single base pair in DNASingle base pair in DNA Ex:Ex:
Normal – AUG AAG UUU GGCNormal – AUG AAG UUU GGC
Point - AUG AAPoint - AUG AAAA UUU GGC UUU GGC
Happens at a single point, you point Happens at a single point, you point to one thing.to one thing.
Frameshift MutationFrameshift Mutation
Addition or deletion of a single baseAddition or deletion of a single base Ex:Ex:
Normal – AUG AAG UUU GGCNormal – AUG AAG UUU GGC
Frameshift – AUG AAG UUFrameshift – AUG AAG UU GGC GGC

Chromosomal MutationChromosomal Mutation
Change in chromosomesChange in chromosomes Causing Causing nondisjunctionnondisjunction (to many or (to many or
not enough parts) – failure of not enough parts) – failure of chromosomes to separate chromosomes to separate Trisomy – extra chromosomeTrisomy – extra chromosome Monosomy – missing chromosomesMonosomy – missing chromosomes Triploidy – an extra setTriploidy – an extra set

MutationsMutations
Some mutations can be positive – Some mutations can be positive – mutation may make an organism mutation may make an organism faster, strongerfaster, stronger
Mutations may be passed on if it Mutations may be passed on if it occurs in reproductive cells, will not occurs in reproductive cells, will not be passed on however in be passed on however in nonreproductive cells (skin, muscle, nonreproductive cells (skin, muscle, or bone.)or bone.)
