Mutations Worksheet - Deletion, Insertion & Substitution
There are several types of mutations:
DELETION (a base is lost/deleted)
INSERTION (an extra base is added/inserted)
--- Deletion & insertion may cause what’s called a FRAMESHIFT mutation, meaning the reading “frame"
changes, thus changing the amino acid sequence from this point forward
SUBSTITUTION (one base is substituted for another)
--- If a substitution changes the amino acid, it’s called a MISSENSE mutation
--- If a substitution does not change the amino acid, it’s called a SILENT mutation
--- If a substitution changes the amino acid to a “stop,” it’s called a NONSENSE mutation
Complete the boxes below. Classify each as Deletion, Insertion or Substitution AND as either
frameshift, missense, silent or nonsense (Hint: Deletion & Insertion will always be frameshift).

  1. Which type of mutation is responsible for new variations of a trait? Missense Mutations
  2. Which type of mutation does not result in an abnormal amino acid sequence? Silent Mutation
  3. Which type of mutation stops the translation of an mRNA molecule? Nonsense Mutation Sickle Cell Anemia Sickle cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule. Recall that hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red bloods cells. The mutation causes these red blood cells to become stiff & sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels, causing pain and increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart & lungs, and other conditions. --- Analyze the DNA strands below to determine what amino acid is changed AND what type of mutation occurred

4. What type of mutation is this? Please explain why. This is a substitution-missense mutation because one base changes and it changes the amino acid sequence.
