Chromosomal Mutations- structural change in the chromosome __________ - portion of the chromosome is left out ____________ -pick of sister chromatid breaks off & attaches causing a portion to be duplicated ____________- part of chromosome breaks off & reattaches backwards ______________- piece of a non-homologous chromosome breaks off & attaches to chromosome http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Types-of-mutation.png/180px-Types-of-mutation.png
Differences in Mutations Point Mutation Original: The fat cat ate the wee rat. Mutation: The fat hat ate the wee rat. Frame-shift mutation Mutation: The fat caa tet hew eer at Deletion Original: The fat cat ate the wee rat. Mutation: The fat ate the wee rat. Insertion Mutation: The fat cat xlw ate the wee rat. Inversion Mutation: The fat tar eew eht eta tac.
