This video is part of the Year 11 and 12 genetics series - DNA, Genes and Inheritance https://bit.ly/meriSTEMgenetics.

In this video you will learn about different types of genetic mutations and how they are classified. Examples of point mutations such as insertions and deletions and their consequences are discussed. Examples of silent mutations, missense mutations and nonsense mutations and frameshift mutations are explained. Chromosomal mutations including duplications, deletions, inversions and translocations are also explained.
