Genetic Mutations Biology Chapter 12.4 Wilson
2
Describe the different types of genetic mutations. Describe the different types of chromosomal mutations. Explain how mutations can lead to genetic diversity. Objective
3
A permanent change in genetic material A change in the DNA sequence As a cell copies its DNA before dividing, a "typo" occurs every 100,000 or so nucleotides About 120,000 typos each time one of our cells divides Mutations
4
Commonly the terms "mutant" and mutation" are used to describe something undesirable or broken Not all mutations are bad, most have no effect When variations occur within genes, there is more often a consequence, but rarely causes death or disease Generates new variations that can be an advantage Gives rise to variations that are neither good nor bad, just different Mutations Click
5
Exogenous factors (outside): environmental factors such as: Sunlight Radiation Smoking Etc... Endogenous factors (inside): errors during DNA replication Change in protein being made or not made Can lead to toxic by-products Alter cellular metabolism What Causes Mutations? Radiation VideoVideo

Genetic Mutations Genetic Mutations Point Mutation Silent Missense Nonsense Frameshift Mutation Deletion Insertion Chromosomal Mutations Chromosomal Mutations Deletion Duplication Inversion Translocation Types of Mutations
7
Point Mutation – Substitution of one Nucleotide Silent – codon codes for the same amino acid Nonsense – codon codes for a stop! BAD NEWS BEARS Missense – codon codes for a different amino acid Nonsense and Missense will not produce the same or healthy protein or enzyme Point Mutations Point Mutations Genetic Mutations
8
Frameshift mutations – Shift the reading frame of codons from the point of mutation on Changes multiple amino acids More dramatic change to a protein than a point mutation Insertion – adds nucleotide (s) Deletion – deletes a nucleotide(s) Genetic Mutations
9
Insertion – addition of a nucleotide, shifts the reading frame to the right, changes how the codons are “read”… think of it as adding letters to a sentence Frameshift Mutation DNA like sequence Codon Amino Acids
10
Deletion – deletes one or more nucleotides, which shifts the reading frame to the left of the change Frameshift Mutations DNA like sequence Codon Amino Acids
11
Kahoot Genetic Mutation Review
12
Effect entire sections of genes not just the one base pair or a set of codons Have similar names as point mutations but they affect a number of genes that are made up of hundreds of base pairs Many of these occur as gametes are being formed Can be the most severe causing severe birth defects or even death Chromosomal Mutations
13
During meiosis chromosomes may not split properly, called nondisjuction. Results is a child having a greater or frewer number of chromosomes. Children with these types of mutations seldom live into adulthood Some common mutations are: Down syndrome (trisomy 21) – having a third chromosome 21 Down syndrome Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) – having a third chromosome 13Patau syndrome Edward's syndrome (trisomy 18) – having a third chromosome 18 Edward's syndrome Chromosomal Mutations
14
Nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes (X or Y chromosome) Klinefelter syndrome: XXY males, XYY males, Trisomy X: XXX females, Monosomy X (Turner's syndrome) Klinefelter syndrome The only viable monosomy in humans - women with Turner's syndrome have only 45 chromosomes!!!Turner's syndrome These types of chromosomal mutations can be seen in a human karyotype. Chromosomal Mutations
15
Deletion – a removal of a whole set of genes from a chromosome Chromosomal Mutations
16
Duplication – the copying of a whole set of genes from a chromosome Chromosomal Mutations
17
Inversion – the reversal of the gene order on a chromosome Chromosomal Mutations
18
Translocation – genes from one chromosome are moved to another chromosome Chromosomal Mutations
21
Review Review Chromosomal Mutations
