Genetics Quiz: Mutations and Repair Mechanisms

Question 1

• A mutation that changes a DNA sequence, completely altering an amino acid sequence, is called a frameshift mutation.

Question 2

• DNA glycosylases are specifically involved in base excision repair.

Question 3

• A mutation that alters a codon, but results in the same amino acid, is called a silent mutation.

Test your knowledge on mutations and DNA repair mechanisms with this quiz. Explore critical concepts like frameshift and silent mutations, as well as the role of DNA glycosylases in base excision repair. Perfect for students of genetics and molecular biology.
