From my Lecture 4 (10/1):<br />

Classificati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>mutati<strong>on</strong>s</str<strong>on</strong>g> by <str<strong>on</strong>g>their</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

effects <strong>on</strong> the DNA molecule<br />

• Substituti<strong>on</strong>: base is replaced by <strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the other<br />

three bases<br />

• Deleti<strong>on</strong>: block <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>e or more DNA pairs is lost<br />

• Inserti<strong>on</strong>: block <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>e or more DNA pairs is added<br />

• Inversi<strong>on</strong>: 180˚ rotati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> piece <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> DNA<br />

• Reciprocal translocati<strong>on</strong>: parts <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> n<strong>on</strong>homologous<br />

chromosomes change places<br />

• Chromosomal rearrangements: affect many genes at<br />

<strong>on</strong>e time<br />
