How do external factors change an organism's genes to affect their offspring?
Lecture 2: Environmental factors, such as radiation, can cause mutations in DNA. Radiation can cause changes in the operon or section of genes. This may cause frame-shift and point mutations. The repressor that binds to the operator may be mutated to express the mutated genes. Terms of Use: Mutation, Frameshift mutation, Point Mutation Operator, Repressor, Operon

Concept Map Mutation Frame-shift Mutation Point Mutation Operon
From radiation Frame-shift Mutation Point Mutation Miss pairing of one base Insertion and deletion of bases Operon Operator A series of genes Repressor Repressor binds and stops protein production Turns Genes OFF
