Explanation
Possible Results
Picture
A change in a Possibly the wrong
single base
amino acid is made
pair in DNA
so the function of
the protein could be
messed up
A single base All amino acids after
is added or
the deletion or
deleted form
addition are wrong
the DNA
sequence
which causes
a shift in
reading of the
codons
Part of the
Offspring usually
nucleotide
dies, if not then the
sequence s
offspring will be
deleted
sterile
New
Offspring usually
nucleotide
dies, if not then the
sequences
offspring will be
are added to sterile
the original
strand
The
Offspring usually
nucleotide
dies, if not then the
sequence is
offspring will be
moved 80
sterile
degrees
