The term may refer to any of three structural isomers, or to a mixture of them: in the IUPAC nomenclature, however, pentane means exclusively the n-pentane isomer; the other two being called isopentane (methylbutane) and neopentane (dimethylpropane). Cyclopentane is not an isomer of pentane.uch reactions are unselective; with n-pentane, the result is a mixture of the 1-, 2-, and 3-chloropentanes, as well as more highly chlorinated derivatives.
The four types of chromosomal mutation are deletion, duplication, inversion and trasnlocation. Deletion is the loss of all or part of a chromosome.Duplication is where a segm â¦ ent of a chromosome is copied. Inversion is where a section of a chromosome is reversed.he four types of chromosomal mutation are deletion, duplication, inversion and trasnlocation.

Germinal and Somatic Mutations. Eukaryotic organisms have two primary cell types --- germ and somatic. Mutations can occur in either cell type. If a gene is altered in a germ cell, the mutation is termed a germinal mutation. Because germ cells give rise to gametes, some gamete s will carry the mutation and it will be passed on to the next generation when the individual successfully mates.
