Chromosome Section Breaks Joins Describe Types Mutations Deletion

The four types of chromosome mutations are deletion, duplication, translocation, and inversion. Deletion involves losing a chromosome segment, duplication involves repeating a segment, translocation involves a segment moving to a different chromosome, and inversion involves a segment reversing its orientation.

Front Name and describe the 4 types of chromosome mutations.
Back Chromosome mutations:
  • Deletion - section of chromosome breaks off and is lost within cell
  • Duplication - sections of chromosome get duplicated
  • Translocation - section of one chromosome breaks off and joins another non-homologous chromosome
  • Inversion - section of chromosome breaks off, is reversed and joins back onto chromosome
