Genetic Mutations, Diseases & BioTechnology
March 2017
3
Other mutations – good?
4
What is a mutation? A mistake in copying DNA
May be a single gene (point mutations) OR whole chromosome (frameshift) Cancer
5
How Mutations Occur and some examples may include..
6
Types of mutations
7
A genetic disease caused by Frameshift:
Tay Sachs
9
A genetic disease caused by deletion:
Cystic Fibrosis
11
A genetic disease caused by duplication:
Huntington’s Disease
13
A genetic disease caused by inversion:
Hunter Syndrome
15
Nondisjunction
16
A genetic disease caused by translocation & nondisjunction:
Down Syndrome a.k.a. Trisomy 21 ****

18
Selective Breeding Allowing organisms with desired characteristics to breed
19
Ex. Dog breeds
20
Transgenic Organisms Inserting genes from another species
Ex. Glow-in-the-dark bunny
