Mutations
A mutation is the changing of a DNA sequence that makes up a gene.
Types of mutation:
-frameshift
Types of mutation:
- Gene
-frameshift
- Chromosomal
Differences between gene (point shift & frameshift and chromosomal mutations
Gene (point shift & frameshift mutations) Point shift:
-nonsense mutations -missense mutations -silent mutations Frameshift:
Chromosomal Mutations
-translocations -inversions -deletions -duplications |

Genetic diseases
A different code in the DNA leads to a problem in the proper function of the human body a type of genetic disease. For example, a genetic disease called Autism leads to abnormalities in brain structure or function, because of the cluster of unstable genes or DNA. Noyt to mention, each person has different DNA sequence and a corresponding gene function and protein expression in the brain.
Designer Babies -- "artificial mutations?"
"Designer babies" are like "artificial mutations", because just like how in "designer babies", people select which characteristics and traits they want their offspring to look like. In "artificial mutations", people can control for clinical diagnostic genetic and proficiency testing.
