Mutations that change a single base pair, usually involving a substitution of one base for another:

If a point mutation does not change the order of the amino acid sequence, this is called a:

Insertions and deletions are also known as:

If a mutation codes for "stop" in the amino acid chain, this is called a:

If UCU is changed to UCC, this is a _______________________________.

Which of the following mutations would be the most likely to affect the resulting protein?

Changes to the number or structure of chromosomes are called chromosomal mutations. Which of the following is NOT a type of chromosomal mutation?

______________________________________ is a type of chromosomal mutation when part of the chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.

This type of chromosomal mutation produces an extra copy of all or part of the chromosome:

If part of the chromosome is turned around in the opposite direction this is called:

In some cases this condition of having extra sets of chromosomes can be beneficial, such as in certain plants that are stronger and larger as a result.

Individuals who inherit the gene for sickle shaped red blood cells from ____________________________, have an advantage in parts of the world where malaria is common.

Mutations can be beneficial because they increase genetic _____________________ and can make the individual and species more likely to survive.
