MutationsGenetic Mutation – a change in the amount or
structure of genetic material of an organismMutations can be in DNA or can be
chromosomalMutations can happen more than once in a
sequence [and typically do]Causes:
mutagens – radiation or chemical substances that increase the rate of mutations

Mutations[Causes:]
problem during interphase when DNA is being replicatedproblems are typically noticed and
repaired by enzymes during growth typically mismatch in base pairingproblem in DNA problem in mRNA
problem in protein synthesis

Effects of MutationsALL known mutations are harmful overall
some are beneficial under certain circumstancesantibiotic resistance:
immunity to antibiotics
often slow reproduction
often poor acquisition of resources

Effects of MutationsALL known mutations are harmful overall
some are beneficial under certain circumstancessickle-cell anemia:
less likely to get malariaobstruction of blood vesselsorgan damagelife span 42-48yrs old

Effects of MutationsSmall changes:
may cause no change in the a.as formedmay cause a change in the a.as formedmay cause MASSIVE change in the
a.asformedLarge changes…are of course, typically
worse than small changes

Effects of MutationsCan cause cancers, genetic disordersMutations in cells:
in gametes – passed to the next generationin somatic cells – not passed on to next
generation

Discuss
What are substances that cause mutations called?
A mutation in a _____ cell will be passed on to offspring, but a mutation in a _____ cell will
NOT be passed on to offspring.

DNA Mutations3 types (1) – BY CAUSE
substitution – change of a single base from one kind to another [aka point mutation]ex: THE DOG RAN OUT THE FOG RAN
OUTmay or may not alter the amino acid formed:
CAU & CAC both code for HistidineCAA & CAG both code for GlutamineUUU = phenylalanine
UUA = leucine

DNA Mutations3 types (2) – BY CAUSE
deletion – a single base is deleted from the sequence
THE DOG RAN OUT THE OGR ANO UTchanges the sequence of codons –
usually quite a bit; but may not change sequence if next letters code for same thing [like near end]
TAC – UUA – UAA TAC – UUU – AAMet – Leu – [stop] Met – Phe –

DNA Mutations3 types (3) – BY CAUSE
insertion – a single base is added to the sequenceTHE DOG RAN OUT THE DOG RAF NOU T changes the sequence of codons –
usually quite a bit; but may not change sequence if next letters code for same thing [like near end]
TAC – UUA – UAA TAC – UUA – AUA – A
Met – Leu – [stop] Met – Leu – Ile –

Discuss
Name AND explain the three types of mutation by their CAUSE.

DNA Mutations4 classifications (1-2) – BY EFFECT
silent (sense) – has no effect on amino acid sequenceAGU (serine) AGC (serine)
missense – codes for a different amino acidAGU (serine) AGA (arginine)

DNA Mutations4 classifications (4) – BY EFFECT
nonsenseforms premature “stop” codonUAC (tyrosine) UAG (stop)

DNA Mutations…ALSO AN EFFECT…BUT WANTED TO PUT
AFTER
frameshift – changes the “reading frame”caused by insertion/deletion
THE DOG RAN OUT THE OGR ANO UTTHE DOG RAN OUT THE DOG RAF NOU T
insertions/deletions in groups of three may not change reading frame, but can change amino acids formed causing protein to not function properly.

Chromosomal MutationsRecall: Chromosomes are wound DNA –
when chromosomes are altered, we are altering large portions of the DNA message, even if there is only a small change to the chromosome.

Chromosomal MutationsOccur during meiosis4 types: (1)
deletion – piece of chromosome is lostmay be lethal depending on which gene is
lost
![Page 19: Genetic Mutations](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050820/568158d4550346895dc61ae7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chromosomal MutationsOccur during meiosis4 types: (2)
duplication – piece of chromosome is duplicatedoften harmless
![Page 20: Genetic Mutations](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050820/568158d4550346895dc61ae7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Chromosomal MutationsOccur during meiosis4 types: (3)
inversion – piece of chromosome is inverted/flippedtypically lethal, but in rare cases is
advantageous

Chromosomal MutationsOccur during meiosis4 types: (4)
translocation – piece of chromosome is moved to another part of the same chromosome or moved to its homologuetypically lethal
![Page 22: Genetic Mutations](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050820/568158d4550346895dc61ae7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Non-DisjunctionNon-disjunction – pairs of chromosomes don’t
separate properly during meiosis [metaphase]Metaphase I – ALL gametes affected
![Page 24: Genetic Mutations](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022050820/568158d4550346895dc61ae7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Non-DisjunctionNon-disjunction – pairs of chromosomes don’t
separate properly during meiosis [metaphase]Metaphase II – only half of gametes
affected

PolyploidyPolyploidy – multiples of entire chromosome
set.lethal in humans, common in plants
plants: causes larger cells, larger plantsExamples:
peanuts = 4nsugar cane = 8ncoffee = 2n, 4n, 6n, 8nwheat = 6n
