Mutations in Reproductive (Sex) Mutations in Reproductive (Sex) Cells VS. Body cellsCells VS. Body cells
-Mutations in sex cells a.k.a. gametes -Mutations in sex cells a.k.a. gametes (sperm and egg cells) can be passed (sperm and egg cells) can be passed down to a person’s children, but might not down to a person’s children, but might not affect the parentaffect the parent
-Mutations in body cells cannot be passed -Mutations in body cells cannot be passed on to your children, however, they can on to your children, however, they can cause cancer or other problemscause cancer or other problems

Tongue cancer and lung cancer are often caused by changes in body cells as a result of smoking, so don’t smoke!!!
Carcinogens- environmental/chemical factors that cause cancer

-A single nucleotide is changed from “A” to “T” -A single nucleotide is changed from “A” to “T” which causes the amino acid to change from which causes the amino acid to change from glutamic acid to valine:glutamic acid to valine:
Amino acids: Thr – Pro – Amino acids: Thr – Pro – GluGlu – Glu – Glu

-A frameshift mutation is when one nucleotide -A frameshift mutation is when one nucleotide is inserted or deleted from the DNA or is inserted or deleted from the DNA or mRNA strand.mRNA strand.

-It’s a substitution mutation because G was replaced -It’s a substitution mutation because G was replaced with a T!with a T!

Frameshift! The mutated sentence makes Frameshift! The mutated sentence makes no sense (non-sense) and thus the protein no sense (non-sense) and thus the protein will not be madewill not be made
Chromosome MutationsChromosome Mutations
……are usually damaging.are usually damaging.
An entire piece of a chromosome may be An entire piece of a chromosome may be deleted, moved or damaged.deleted, moved or damaged.
ALL INFORMATION ON THE AFFECTED ALL INFORMATION ON THE AFFECTED SECTION MAY BE LOST OR FOREVER SECTION MAY BE LOST OR FOREVER CHANGED (and is useless).CHANGED (and is useless).
Types of Chromosome MutationsTypes of Chromosome Mutations
DeletionDeletion – the whole chromosome is gone! – the whole chromosome is gone!
DuplicationDuplication – now you have 2 sets of the same – now you have 2 sets of the same stuff.stuff.
InversionInversion – one part of a chromosome gets – one part of a chromosome gets moved to another area on the SAME moved to another area on the SAME chromosome.chromosome.
TranslocationTranslocation – a section of a chromosome is – a section of a chromosome is stuck on a DIFFERENT chromosomestuck on a DIFFERENT chromosome
