MUTATIONS. Mutations are heritable changes in genetic information Only mutation in the GAMETES can be passed on from generation to generation There can.

 During replication (in DNA), an error may be made that causes changes in the mRNA and proteins made from that part of the DNA  These errors or changes.

Presentation transcript:

Mutations in DNA changes in the DNA sequence that can be inherited can have negative effects (a faulty gene for a trans- membrane protein leads to cystic fibrosis), but most mutations go unnoticed (we have two copies of each gene). melanoma

Point Mutations Silent Mutations   have no effect on cell function (two types) Errors that are located in intron regions - get cut out before translation. Genetic code redundancy - a change in the sequence may not alter the amino acid (eg. UUU and UUC both result in phenylalanine)

Point Mutations (cont.) Missense Mutation When a change in the sequence of DNA alters a codon, resulting in a different amino acid being put in the peptide sequence. Sickle cell anemia occurs because of a missense mutation.

Point Mutations (cont.) Nonsense Mutation   A change in the DNA sequence causes a STOP codon to be inserted in place of an amino acid codon.   The protein produced is truncated (too short).  Found in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Point Mutations (cont.) Frameshift Mutations causes the reading frame for codons to change. Can result from deletions of nucleotides from the DNA sequence or from insertions of nucleotides into the sequence. Either way, it shifts the reading frame in translation and results in a completely different sequence of amino acids being constructed. Note that inserting or deleting 3 bases in the DNA wouldn’t shift the reading frame, it just adds or removes an amino acid.
