6types
Baseadded
causes frameshift tothe right all tripletsafteradditionaltered
2 Deletion
Baseremoved
causes frameshift to the left all tripletsafterdeletionaltered
3 Substitution
onebaseswappedwithanotherbase
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
