GENE MUTATION
Submitted by: Hina Ayub
GENE MUTATION
• A gene mutation is defined as an alteration
in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA.
• This change can affect a single nucleotide
pair or larger gene segment of a
chromosome.
TYPES OF GENE
MUTATION
Point mutation ,Frame shift mutation,
Base substitution
•Silent mutation
•Missense mutation
•Nonsense mutation
•Insertion
•Deletion
•Transition mutation
•Transversion mutation
POINT MUTATION
Point mutations are the most common type of
gene mutation.
Also known as base pair substitution.
Change in a single nucleotide base pair.
Point mutation can be categorized into three
types:
Silent mutation
Missense mutation
Nonsense mutation
SILENT MUTATION
The change in one codon for an
amino acid into another codon
for that same amino acid .
Silent mutations are also
referred to as synonymous
mutations.
MISSENSE MUTATION
The codon for one amino
acid is changed into a codon
for another amino acid.
Missense mutations are
sometimes referred to as
non-synonymous mutations.
NONSENSE MUTATION
The codon for one amino
acid is changed into a
translation termination
(stop) codon.
