What is a mutation? A mutation is any change in genetic material. There are many ways for mutations to occur. Common point mutations are...

Mutations Any change in DNA sequence which is not immediately and properly repaired. If they occur in somatic cells then they are non-inheritable, if in.

4.2 Mutation

Objectives By the end of the lesson you should be able to: Describe mutations and their effects

Recall... DNA is the molecule of life DNA is the blueprint of who you are DNA is divided into sections called genes Genes act as blueprints for specific characteristics Each chromosome contains ~10,000 genes Each gene has the information to determine one specific trait/function Genes work by directing a cell to make a specific protein

Mutation What if the copy of the DNA is done incorrectly?? Or, if the RNA is read wrong by the ribosome?? The protein that is made is wrong! There has been a mutation

Mutation A gene mutation involves a change in the order of bases (A,C,T,G) that make up the gene. There are several types of gene mutation: Deletion (base missing) Addition (extra base added) Substitution (one base substituted for another)

Mutagens = Causes of Mutations 1. Nothing – they simply happen randomly 2. Radiation: knocks holes in DNA - UV light = sunlight  skin cancer - X-Rays = dentists and hospitals - Treatments = radiation for cancer - Nuclear Plants = none in BC 3. Chemicals: - Drugs = Illegal(PCP,LSD, Heroin, Cocaine) = Legal (thalidomide) - Industrial = formaldehyde, benzene, acetone, carbon tetrachloride

Mutation Gene mutations may produce proteins that are beneficial or harmful to the organism, or may have no effect at all.

Mutation Example: a particular mutated gene produces white coat Kermode bears - they occur as only a small percentage of the population (they are normally black in colour).

Effects of Mutation Positive Mutations When a gene mutation benefits the individual. Example: Some plants have developed resistance to bacterial and fungal infections.

Effects of Mutation Negative Mutations When a gene mutation harms the individual Example: Sickle cell genes in affected humans cause blood cells that are abnormally shaped.

Effects of Mutation Neutral Mutation When a gene mutation has no effect on the individual Example: The white Kermode bear

Mutagens Mutagens are substances or factors that cause mutations Environmental mutagens such as mercury, cigarette smoke, X-ray and UV radiation, and certain viruses can cause mutations

Mutation Repair Correcting mutations is difficult, but new techniques such as gene therapy offer hope. Gene therapy is complicated and experimental: A virus is engineered to carry a normal gene The virus must somehow be targeted to the cells with the defective gene The normal gene must then replace the defective gene The normal gene must then be “switched on” so that the replacement normal gene produces the proper healthy proteins. It is also important that the normal gene make the correct amount of healthy protein.
