Deletion
Main Points
- Type of Frameshift Mutation - This is a mutation that effect all codon after it and shifts them down
- The Opposite of Addition - Where addition adds a base deletion takes away a base
- Causes Genetic Mutation - After the shift occurs it changes all codons after it
- Can Cause Disease - Cystic Fibrosis
- Occurs During DNA Replication
What I Learned
Considering we studied this in class before I researched I didn't learn much but I did actually learn a few diseases that are caused by deletion like Cystic Fibrosis. I also learned a little more about addition and substitution and I found out substitution isn't a frame shift mutation.

How common is a deletion mutation?
ReplyDeleteNice post! I did not know that a mutation could practically fix itself in the Opposite of Addition and was wondering if there are any other mutations like this one.
