1
A change in the DNA sequence that affects genetic information
Mutations A change in the DNA sequence that affects genetic information
2
Germ cell mutations Occurs in gametes
Do NOT affect the organism but are passed on to offspring
3
Somatic Cell Mutations
Occurs in body cells Affects the individual
4
Types of Mutations A. Chromosomal Mutations
Occurs during cell division
5
Deletion Loss of all or part of a chromosome
Opposite of duplication (segment is repeated
6
Inversion Part of a chromosome becomes oriented in reverse of its usual direction Ex. TAGTAGTAG-- TAGTAGGAT
7
Translocation Part of one chromosome breaks off & attaches to another, nonhomologous chromosome
8
Nondisjunction When a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis Ex. Trisomy 21 – Down Syndrome
9
B. Gene Mutations Results in different proteins being made
10
Point Mutation Involves one nucleotide in DNA sequence being substituted Ex. TAG TCG
11
Frameshift Mutation One nucleotide is deleted or inserted, the code is shifted Ex. TAGTAG --- TAGAG TAGTAG --- TAGTAAG
12
Causes of Mutations Mutagens- environmental factors which damage DNA
13
A. Chemicals B. Electromagnetic Radiation (X-rays) C. UV Light
