![Page 1: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Mutations
• These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited.
• These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects.
![Page 2: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Negative side-effects
• Some mutations may lead to a the development of a disease.
• Cystic fibrosis – mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator

Positive Mutations
• The human brain occurred through mutation.
• Caused a natural selection and the larger brains prevailed.
![Page 4: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
No effect
• The side effect may not surface immediately – especially eukaryotes
• We are diploid organisms meaning that we cancel the mutations out.
• If humans were haploid in nature much of the world population would be gone as we carry so many mutations.

Types of Mutations
• Silent mutations– No effect on the operation of the cell– Usually occurs in the introns of DNA– This means that post-transcription
modification removes this mutation
![Page 6: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Mutation can also be silenced through the redundant nature of the genetic code.
• Eg. Phenylalanine – UUU, UUC on mRNA
• Mistakes made during transcription or if a mutation is made and the third base is replaced with a G instead of an A – phenylalanine will still be created.

Missense mutation
• A mutation that results in the single substitution of one amino acid in the resulting polypeptide
• Change in the base sequence of DNA alters a codon – leading to a different amino acid in the sequence.
• Sickle cell anemia

• Normal red blood cell• Round flexible able to
pass through tiny blood vessels.
![Page 9: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Sickle cell• Looses flexibility• Is rigid and blocks
blood vessesls depriving the area of blood supply

Nonsense mutations
• Mutation that converts a codon for an amino acid into a termination codon.
• During translation only part of the protein will be created and the fragment may be digested by proteases.
• Often lethal to the cell
![Page 11: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Substitution and Deletion
• Missense and nonsense mutations occur because of substitutions or deletions of a base pair.
• Substitution – replacement of one base in a DNA sequence by another base
• Deletion – the elimination of a base pair or group of base pairs for a DNA sequence.
• Point mutations – if only one base pair.
![Page 12: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• By removing a base pair, it results in different base pairs being read.
• This will cause a drastic change in protein structure.

Insertion
• The placement of an extra nucleotide in a DNA sequence.
• Because DNA is read in triplets of nucleotides, and will cause different amino acids.
![Page 14: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Frameshift Mutations
• Causes the reading frame of codons to change
• This results in different amino acids being incorporated into the polypeptide.
• Insertion and deletion can be considered Frameshift mutations, if they result in less than three codons being shifted.
• 3 nucleotides can be less serious.

Translocation
• The transfer of a fragment of DNA from one site in the genome to another location.
• A segment of a chromosome breaks and releases a fragment – this happens as the same thing is happening to another chromosome.
• The two fragments switch places – disrupting normal gene structure.
![Page 16: Mutations These are errors made in the DNA sequence that are inherited. These may have negative side effects, no side effects or positive side effects](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082517/56649f095503460f94c1ddb4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• This new segment can be transcribed and translated.
• New protein with an altered function.
• Some leukemia are a result of this.

Transposable Elements
• Segments of DNA that are replicated as a unit from one location to another on chromosomal DNA
• They move from one location to another, making genes inactive.
• Various colours of Indian corn are a result of Transposable genes - McClintock

Could this happen???

Inversion
• Reversed its orientation in the chromosome
• No gain or loss of genetic material.
• Some genes may be disrupted.
