Nonsense Point Mutation The mutation changes from coding for an amino acid to – (No protein will be made.) (NONsense) coding for a STOP codon READING FRAMESHIFT Mutation (The whole DNA is changed behind the “sentence” mutation.) These mutations alter the codon sequence. Insertion nucleotides to the sequence. adding – For Example: THE BIG TAN DOG RAN with Inserted Letter: THE BOI GTA NDO GRA N Deletion nucleotides from the sequence. – taking out For Example: THE BIG TAN DOG RAN with Deleted Letter: THE BGT AND OGR AN Gametes vs. Somatic Who is affected? If a mutation occurs in somatic cells the only one affected by the – mutation is the person that the mutation occurred to. If the mutation occurs in gametes (sex cells) the only one affected be the organism from that sex cell. This is how generations may be affected will created future by mutation and this is a cause of evolution. Change in the DNA over time.
