Delahunty/Biology Honors Mutations Worksheet Name KEY
There are several types of mutation: DELETION (a base is lost) INSERTION (an extra base is inserted) Deletion and insertion may cause what’s called a FRAMESHIFT, meaning the reading “frame” changes, changing the amino acid sequence. SUBSTITUTION (one base is substituted for another) If a substitution changes the amino acid, it’s called a MISSENSE mutation. If a substitution does not change the amino acid, it’s called a SILENT mutation. If a substitution changes the amino acid to a “stop,” it’s called a NONSENSE mutation.
Complete the boxes below. Classify each as either Deletion, Insertion, or Substitution AND as either frameshift, missense, silent or nonsense (hint: deletion or insertion will always be frameshift).

Which type of mutation stops the translation of the mRNA? NONSENSE
Sickle Cell Anemia
Sickel cell anemia is the result of a type of mutation in the gene that codes for part of the hemoglobin molecule.
Recall that hemoglobin carries oxygen in your red bloods cells. The mutation causes the red blood cells to become
stiff and sickle-shaped when they release their oxygen. The sickled cells tend to get stuck in blood vessels,
causing pain and increased risk of stroke, blindness, damage to the heart and lungs, and other conditions.
Analyze the DNA strands below to determine what amino acid is changed and what type of mutation occurred.
