2. Created by the addition of a nucleotide to a coding region
3. A stop codon is read as an amino acid
4. An amino acid is replaced by a chemically similar amino acid
5. Created by a deletion of a nucleotide in a coding region
6. Mutation that does not alter the peptide
7. A mutation changing UAU(Tyr) to UAG(Stop)
8. An amino acid is replaced by a chemically different amino acid
