Section 11.3 MUTATIONS Section 11.3 pgs. 296 - 301
2
Objectives Categorize different kinds of mutations that can occur in DNA. Compare the effects of different kinds of mutations on cells and organisms.
3
Think, Pair, Share 1. What concepts/ideas come to mind when you hear the term mutation? 2. What could determine whether a mutation would or wouldn’t have an effect on an organism? 3. When or how could DNA be changed?
4
Mutations Mutation = change in DNA sequence Mutations can be caused by errors in replication, transcription, translation, cell division, or external agents. Mutations in Reproductive Cells can affect potential offspring (ex: inheritable genetic disorders) Mutations in Body Cells do not get passed onto offspring (ex: if an individual develops skin cancer)
5
MUTATIONS Ex. 1 - THE DOG RAN ALL DAY becomes THE DOG SRA NAL LDA Y THE DOG SRA NAL LDA Y or or Ex. 2 - THE DOG RAN ALL DAY becomes THE DOG RAN ALL DAD THE DOG RAN ALL DAD Think, Pair, Share 4. Explain what happened in the 1 st example. 5. Explain what happened in the 2 nd example. 6. Why are the words 3 letters long?
6
Types of Mutations - Types of Mutations - can alter the genetic code causing changes to amino acids and then the protein produced. Frameshift - moves reading frame to the left or right. Original sentence – THE DOG RAN ALL DAY Deletion = a base is deleted (THE DOG ANA LLD AY) Insertion = a base is added (THE DOG SRA NAL LDA Y)
7
Point Mutation/Substitution – One base is substituted in place of another possibly altering amino acids produced Missense Mutation – changes the amino acid THE DOG RAN ALL DAY THE DOG RAN ALL DAD
8
POINT MUTATION/SUBSTITIUTION Nonsense Mutation – changes amino acid to a stop codon. THE DOG RAN ALL DAY THE DOG RAN ALL
9
POINT MUTATION/SUBSTITUTION Silent Mutation – Doesn’t change the amino acid Think, Pair, Share 7. Using the chart on pg. 292 give an example of how changing one of the 3 bases in a codon would result in a Silent Mutation. Write the original codon, changed codon, and amino acid coded for.

13
8. Describe what has happened to the each chromosome above.
14
Chromosomal Alterations Chromosomes can be - broken off or lost during mitosis/meiosis - break off and rejoin incorrectly Fig. 11.12 pg. 300 – Four kinds of chromosomal mutations. 1.Deletion 2.Insertion 3.Inversion 4.Translocation
15
Mutation of genetic material will affect the proteins produced
16
Textbook pg. 299 #’s 1&4 Working with another lab group answer questions 1 & 4 on the dry erase boards. Be prepared to share your answers with other groups.
17
Sickle Cell – result from the change in one base on Chromosome 11.
18
Cause & Repair Some mutations are spontaneous others can be the result of long term Mutagen = any agent that causes DNA change (ex: harmful chemicals, radiation) Cells have repair mechanisms and special enzymes that can fix incorrect DNA.
