A deletion mutation occurs when part of a DNA molecule is not copied during DNA replication. This uncopied part can be as small as a single nucleotide or as much as an entire chromosome. The loss of this DNA during replication can lead to a genetic disease.

A change in an organism's genetic code

A locus is a spot or “address” on a chromosome at which a gene for a particular trait is located in all members of a species. It can also refer to the location of a mutation or other genetic marker. A givenlocus can be found on any pair of homologous chromosomes

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Locus (genetics) A locus (plural loci), in genetics, is the specific location or position of a gene, DNA sequence, on a chromosome.Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated 'haploid' protein coding genes are 20,000-25,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.

a missense mutation is a point mutationin which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid.

# data[].attributes.body
A mutation caused by the addition or the deletion of a base pair or pairs, in the DNA sequence of a gene. It causes an unnatural reading frame of the DNA, from the mutation to the end of the gene.

The addition of a different nucleotide base pair into the natural genetic sequence to produce a mutation.

Detrimental mutations truncate the gene sequence (nonsense mutations) to abrogate the normal function of a trait

Dominant alleles show their effect even if the individual only has one copy of the allele (also known as being heterozygous). For example, the allele for brown eyes is dominant, therefore you only need one copy of the 'brown eye' allele to have brown eyes (although, with two copies you will still have brown eyes).

# data[].attributes.body
A type of point mutation in which a single nucleotide is substituted with a different nucleotide that may result in an altered sequence of amino acid during translation, which may render the newly synthesized protein ineffective.
(Exchanges one base for another

A gene mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of a section of DNA coding for a specific trait.
