Mutations practice

This resource helps 11th-grade students practice identifying different types of mutations, including point mutations and frameshift mutations, through question sequences such as multiple-choice, sequencing, and matching exercises that analyze their effects using a codon chart.

Questions

  1. Which type of mutation results from the substitution of a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence?
  2. Which of the following are possible effects of a point mutation in a coding region of DNA?
  3. Place the following steps in the correct order for how a frameshift mutation can occur due to a DNA insertion.
  4. Match each mutation type to its description.
  5. Fill in the blanks with the correct mutation type: A _ mutation does not change the amino acid, while a _ mutation creates a premature stop codon.
  6. Choose the correct mutation type for each scenario.
  7. Sort the following effects into the correct mutation categories.
  8. Determine whether each statement about mutations is true or false.
  9. What is the term for a mutation that changes a codon to a stop codon?
  10. If a DNA sequence originally codes for 10 amino acids, but a frameshift mutation occurs at the 3rd codon, how many of the original amino acids will remain unchanged?
