Question

Some mutations only affect an individual gene. What type of mutation is this?
A. gene mutation
B. point mutation
C. frameshift mutation
D. fatal mutation

Answer 1

Point Mutation: a mutation affecting only one or very few nucleotides in a gene sequence.

Frameshift Mutation: A frameshift mutation (also called a framing error or a reading frame shift) is a genetic mutation caused by indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three.

Fatal Mutation: I'm assuming is a mutation that leads to death.

Gene mutation: A gene mutation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Mutations range in size from a single DNA building block (DNA base) to a large segment of a chromosome. Gene mutations occur in two ways: they can be inherited from a parent or acquired during a person's lifetime.

Hm...I'm not 100% positive on the answer. I would say either point or fatal. You should get a second opinion though.
