Base substitutions, deletions, and insertions are the three different forms of DNA mutations.

A mutation is a long-lasting alteration to the DNA's nucleotide sequence that can occur during replication and/or recombination. Damaged DNA can change by base pair replacement, deletion, or insertion. The majority of the time, mutations are benign, unless they result in tumor growth or cell death. Cells have developed systems for repairing damaged DNA due to the deadly potential of DNA mutations.

Different Mutations

Base substitutions, deletions, and insertions are the three different forms of DNA mutations.

xxMikexx [17]

A letter indicates an articulating surface that is comprised of hyaline cartilage.

<h3>What is hyaline cartilage?</h3>
  • The synovial joints include hyaline cartilage, which facilitates joint motion.
  • Chondrocytes and extracellular matrix make up its structure.
  • The organization of the extracellular matrix, which determines the biomechanical characteristics of cartilage tissue, is greatly influenced by chondrocytes.
  • Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of the bones where they come together to create a joint.
  • In a typical healthy joint, this cartilage is bluish white and shiny.
  • Its main job is to reduce friction and act as a little cushion between the ends of the bones.
  • The synovial joints include hyaline cartilage, which facilitates joint motion.
  • Chondrocytes and extracellular matrix make up its structure.
  • The organization of the extracellular matrix, which determines the biomechanical characteristics of cartilage tissue, is greatly influenced by chondrocytes.
