5 Questions
Match the type of mutation with its description:
Point mutation = One base is incorrectly added during replication and replaces the pair in the corresponding position on the complementary strand Insertion = One or more extra nucleotides are inserted into replicating DNA, often resulting in a frameshift Deletion = One or more nucleotides is 'skipped' during replication or otherwise excised, often resulting in a frameshift Chromosomal mutation = One region of a chromosome is flipped and reinserted
Match the human disease with the corresponding mutation:
Sickle-cell anemia = Point mutation Cystic fibrosis = Deletion Opitz-Kaveggia syndrome = Inversion Cri du chat syndrome = Deletion
Match the human disease with the mutation type that causes it:
One form of beta-thalassemia = Insertion Some cancers = Duplication One form of leukemia = Translocation Fragile X syndrome = Expanding trinucleotide repeat
Match the human disease with the mutation linked to it:
Some breast cancers = Gene amplification Huntington's disease = Expanding trinucleotide repeat One form of beta-thalassemia = Insertion Some cancers = Duplication
Match the mutation type with the corresponding human disease:
Gene amplification = Some breast cancers Translocation = One form of leukemia Duplication = Some cancers Expanding trinucleotide repeat = Fragile X syndrome, Huntington's disease
