Gene Mutations
-
Point Mutations
Insertion
Sometimes the chain will breakup and the proteins will fix it but in the way an other letter can get stuck in the middle.
Deletion
In deletion the chain will bend because there is an empty space for another letter, and that when you get a mutation in the gene.
Substitution
Sometimes proteins will eliminate a letter that is not corresponding to the chain, but sometimes they will confuse and change the one that is in the correct spot.

Effects of Mutation
Some mutations caused by smoke, cigarettes can lead to cancer, it is a genetic disorder.
Sometimes mutations can occur to animals like cats, a small change can happen in phenotype and the cats ear will be curled back instead of being strait and pointy.

Strand Slippage
When the parent strand and the daughter strand will slip by each other, then you will get a bond that is not perfect
Frameshift Mutation
Point mutation, a single base is changes. Deletion, removes a base, causes frameshift. Insertion adds a base causing a frameshift. And inversion inverts the segments of the DNA.
