  1. "Cloning": Copying the DNA and copying the organism exactly
  2. "DNA": deoxyribonucleicacid
  3. "Frame Shift": When the sequence number is changed
  4. "RNA": ribonucleicacid
  5. 2 Frame Shift Mutations: Deletion, and Insertion
  6. 3 Point mutations: Insertion, Substitution, Deletion
  7. Deletion: When a nucleotide gets deleted or removed from the genetic sequence of a molecule
  8. DNA Replicating: When DNA begins dividing by splitting up the double helix and becoming a single strand, then synthesizing a new strand
  9. How Does Mutation occur?: It occurs during the DNA replication which happens before miosis.
  10. Insertion: When a Nucleotide gets added to the genetic sequence of an organism
  11. Mutation: The changing in the genetic sequence of an organism
  12. Point Mutation: Mutation of a specific nucleotide
  13. Substitution: When a nucleotide gets replaced with another in the genetic sequence of an organism
  14. What does Mutation lead to?: Mutation could lead to desireable or indesireable charactaristics or traits.
  15. When does Mutation Occur?: It occurs during the DNA replicating. Is this goes wrong, then there will be a mutation.
