Question

Which category of chromosomal mutation would you classify this as?

Question 28 options:

Deletion


Insertion


Duplication


Translocation

Answer 1

To classify a chromosomal mutation accurately, it would be helpful to have specific details about the mutation in question. Each category of chromosomal mutation has distinct characteristics:

1. **Deletion**: A segment of the chromosome is lost.
2. **Insertion**: Additional nucleotide sequences are added into a chromosome.
3. **Duplication**: A segment of the chromosome is replicated, resulting in two copies of that segment.
4. **Translocation**: A segment of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.

Please provide more details or context about the mutation for a more precise classification.
