Gene Mutations Point Mutations – changes in
one or a few nucleotides Substitution

Gene Mutations Frameshift Mutations – shifts
the reading frame of the genetic message so that the protein may not be able to perform its function. Insertion

What Causes Mutations? There are two ways in which DNA can
become mutated: Mutations can be inherited.
Parent to child Mutations can be acquired.
Environmental damage Mistakes when DNA is copied
