3 Substitution

silent codesfor sameAA asgeneticcodedegenerate
nonsense codes for stopcodon
missense codesfordifferentAA



4 Duplication
a base duplicates replicatesitself effectively an addition
causes frameshift



5 Inversion
a fewbases are removed flippedin oppositedirection thenreinserted

6 Translocation
a sectionof chromosome is removedandplacedonto another chromosome
