- Gene mutations
- Small scale mutations
- Substitution
- One or more bases are swapped for another (ATG becomes ATT)
- Deletion
- One or more bases are removed (ATG becomes ATC)
- Insertions
- One or more bases are added (ATGCCT becomes ATGACCT)
- Substitution
- Large scale Mutations
- Translocation
- A sequence of bases is moved from one location the genome another. This could be movement within the same chromosome or movement to a different chromosome.
- Inversions
- A sequence of bases is reversed (ATGCCT becomes ACCGT)
- Translocation
- Small scale mutations
