Key Concept
Biologists can now often connect the dots
all the way from classic morphological and
physiological traits in plants and animals to
specific changes in the atoms of the DNA
double helix (Kingsley, 56).
Frameshift Mutations
Mutations that lead up to an alter in the
reading frame of a sequence.
Two major types:
Insertion mutations
Deletion Mutations
Codons
are what allow for amino acids to get together and form
proteins.

Details: Insertions
Detail: Deletions
Deletion is when a single
nucleotide is removed from
the DNA sequence.
This alters the way the gene
sequences looks.
Adeletion mutationoccurs
when a wrinkle forms on the
DNA template strand and
subsequently causes a
nucleotide to be omitted
from the replicated strand
(Nature Education).
Fragile X Syndrome
Connection to Evolution
V- The frameshifting allows for more probability of different
phenotypes, keeping variation in tact.
I- When the mutations occur in the DNA, they stay as part of the
organisms genome and get passed down (inherited) to future offspring.
S- While there may be more phenotypes to choose from, different
environments still select for and favor different phenotypes.
T- Over time, mutations can change the frequency of population alleles.
A- When mutations create new phenotypes for different organisms,
organisms are forced to adapt to their environment in order to survive
and reproduce.
