BOW 2 - Mutations
Sense - It is sometimes seen with a single substitution mutation, when the change in DNA base sequence, 
the new codon is still coding for the same amino acid.

NON Sense - this occurs when a new nucleotide into a stop codon  and the protein stops prematurely.


Deletion - loss of dexyribonucleotide during replication.


Insertion - when extra base pairs are inserted into the DNA.


Frame shift - the deletion of a letter , the entire sequence shifts to make a three letter codon.

                                      
               Point Mutation - This is the simplest mutation, when one letter is switched with another.
              Translocation - A lethal mutation, 1/2 homologous chromosomes bind to each other.
