Why would a mutation in a skin cell not be passed on to future generations?
Homework: HP 6 answer reading questions DNAProtein Unit Exam on Friday Study guide given out today!

Types of Mutations 1. Frameshift- results from the addition or deletion of a nucleotide This will cause a shift in every codon after the addition or deletion Usually more damaging than a point mutation 2. Point Mutation- results from the substitution of a nucleotide
3
What causes DNA mutations?
Random-DNA replication is very complicated and sometimes mistakes occur. Radiation- The energy in radiation can actually break or damage nucleotides in a DNA strand UV rays Chemical Exposure- Chemicals can break or damage bonds between nucleotides in DNA Ethidium Bromide
4
UV Radiation UV Radiation causes breaks in the DNA strands that can result in cancer
