Step 1
There are several types of mutations, including: - **Point mutations**: These involve a change in a single nucleotide base. Examples include silent mutations, missense mutations, and nonsense mutations. - **Insertions**: These occur when one or more Show more…

- discuss types of mutations (minimal = 3 types) - define gene transcription and discuss how mutations can affect this process. - define gene translation and discuss how mutations can affect this process.
Contrast two ways that a DNA mutation may occur: through the natural processes of the cell or as the result of an environmental factor. In your answer, include at least three different environmental factors that can cause mutations.
