Label the each type of mutation from this image?

I'm unable to view images, but I can help you understand the types of mutations commonly referenced in genetics. Here are some major types of mutations you might encounter:

  1. Point Mutation: A change in a single nucleotide, which can be classified into:

    • Silent Mutation: No change in the amino acid sequence.
    • Missense Mutation: Changes one amino acid in the sequence.
    • Nonsense Mutation: Introduces a premature stop codon.
  2. Insertion Mutation: Addition of one or more nucleotides into the DNA sequence.

  3. Deletion Mutation: Removal of one or more nucleotides from the DNA sequence.

  4. Frameshift Mutation: Occurs when insertions or deletions shift the reading frame of the genetic code.

  5. Duplication Mutation: A segment of DNA is duplicated, resulting in multiple copies of that segment.

  6. Inversion Mutation: A segment of DNA is reversed within the chromosome.

If you describe the image or the types of mutations you're seeing, I can help you label them accordingly!
