5 1. Substitution: one base is switched for another

6 2. Insertion: an extra base is inserted (put into) the DNA sequence

7 3. Deletion: a base is removed from the DNA sequence

8 Insertions and deletions are called frame shift mutations because they can cause a shift in the grouping of codons changing an entire amino acid sequence.

10 Chromosomal Mutations change the number or structure of chromosomes. Example: Down Syndrome results from an extra chromosome on pair #21

12 Genetic Disorders from Mutations Colorblindness Huntington’s disease Cystic Fibrosis Spinabifida Hemophilia Muscular dystrophy Sickle Cell Anemia Turner Syndrome

13 Significance of Mutations Mutations can be… 1.harmful. –genetic disorders, deformities, death 2.beneficial. –resistance to disease, better camouflage, stronger muscles; important for evolution! 3.neutral. –No effect

14 What causes mutations? 1.Just happen for multiple reasons, many are unknown 1.Mutagens: external (environmental) triggers that cause gene mutations. –Chemicals (like in cigarettes & asbestos) –Radiation (like x-rays, UV light exposure, & gamma radiation from nuclear energy.) –Viruses
