what are the forms of mutation?

Answer 1

Go rent one of the X-Men movies.

Answer 2

Deletion mutations - which remove one or more nucleotides.
Insertion mutations - which add one or more nucleotides.
Inversion mutations - which reverse a portion of nucleotide sequence.
Substitution mutations - which swap one or more nucleotides for different ones.
Translocations - which swap sections of a chromosome for sections in another chromosome.

If any of these result in the addition/subtraction of a number of nucleotides that is *not* a multiple of three nucleotides, they will be Frameshift mutations, changing the reading-frame of any genes affected.
If any result in a STOP codon appearing before the normal end of the gene, they will be Truncation mutations.
Any which affect only *one* nucleotide are Point mutations.

Answer 3

In chromosomes, mutations can be deletions (leave out one or more bases), insertions (add in one or more bases), translocations (a piece of one chromosome is moved over to another chromosome), and inversions (a piece of a chromosome disconnects and is put back into the chromosome backward).

Answer 4

There are frogs in a Michigan lake someplace that have mutated.

Answer 5

In frogs 3 legs and 5 eyes etc. Usually extra limbs.
