There are multiple types of mutations in DNA ________ mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair ________mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation _______mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA.

Question

answer choices: substitution, insertion, deletion

Answer 1

The correct answers to fill in the blanks are:

1. Substitution mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair.
2. Deletion mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation.
3. Insertion mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA.

So the completed sentence would be:

"There are multiple types of mutations in DNA substitution mutations occur when a single base is changed to a different base pair deletion mutations remove one or more bases from a segment of DNA, resulting in a frameshift mutation insertion mutations are also considered frameshift mutations, and occur when one or more extra bases are added to a segment of DNA."
