Study Notes
Mutations
- A mutation that completely alters an amino acid sequence by inserting or deleting a base is called a frameshift mutation
- DNA glycosylases are involved in base excision repair
- When a codon is changed but still results in the same amino acid, it's called a silent mutation.
