A Mutagen is an agent of substance that can bring about a permanent alteration to the physical composition of a DNA gene such that the genetic message is changed. Problem: _________ Mutation in which a purine is substituted by a pyrimidine _________ Mutation caused by the addition of a base in a protein coding region _________ A base change resulting in a stop codon _________ Type of mutation that causes mutant sectors to appear on a flower petal Wordbank a) Nonsense mutation b) Silent mutation c) Conditional mutation d) Auxotrophic e) Somatic mutation f) Lethal g) Frameshift h) Transversion i) Transition mutation #geneticMutation #transversionMutation #nonsenseMutation #SilentMutation #ConditionalMutation #Auxotrophic #SomaticMutation #Lethal #Frameshift #Transversion #TransitionMutation
