1. Point mutation or substitution - one base replaced by another

2. "Indel"

2.1 Deletion - loss of one or more adjacent bases

2.2 Insertion - adding one or more bases

3. Large insertions or deletions

4. Recombination - crossover and gene conversion (these are like cut-and-paste editing between two very similar texts)

Discovery questions:

Discuss what effects these changes in the DNA potentially have in the protein produce.

For answer and examples see here
