Document Summary
Mutations are the raw material of evolution. There are two broad categories of genetic mutations. Thus continuing it on the daughter cells. Point mutation mutation in which a single base pair is replaced by another (incorrect) base pair. Point mutation the fat hat ate the rat. Genetic insertions the addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs in a sequence. Usually due to the dna polymerase slipping. Hemophilia a (appears more in males than females on the x-chromosome) Original the fat cat ate the rat. Insertion the fat eek cat ate the rat. Genetic deletions- mutation in which a part of a chromosome or sequence of dna is missing. Deletion the fat ate the rat. Frame-shift mutation one or more bases are inserted or deleted. Frame-shift mutation the fat caa tet her at. Genetic inversion an entire section of dna is reversed. Inversion the fat tar eht eta tac. This is mostly taken out by the atmosphere.
