🗑
if a mutation occurs in a gamete will that mutation be passed on to your offspring   Yupppers :(  
🗑
What is a deletion mutation   the deletion of a mutation  
🗑
how many amino acids are affected by a deletion   all after a point  
🗑
what is an insertion mutation   adding a letter  
🗑
how many amino acids are affected by an insertion   all after that point  
🗑
what is a frame shift   a insertion or deletion  
🗑
are frameshift mutations more or less dangerous than substitutions   Far more dangerous  
🗑
what is a silent mutation   substitution of a letter  
🗑
how many amino acids are changed in a silent mutation   none  
🗑
what is a missense mutation   one acid changed to another amino acid  
🗑
does the protein produced from a missense mutation function the same as the original   No  
🗑
in a nonsense mutation the codon for a normal amino acid is changed into a codon for what   a stop codon  
🗑
what is a genetic disorder   a change in the DNA  
🗑
what were the three genetic disorders we discussed in class   hemophilia, tay-sachs, and Huntington's disease

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
