12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations that produce changes in a single gene are known as gene mutations. Mutations that produce changes in whole chromosomes are known as chromosomal mutations. Slide 3 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations Gene Mutations • A mutation is a change

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations Gene Mutations • A mutation is a change in an organism’s DNA. Many kinds of mutations can occur, especially during replication. • Point mutations occur at a single point in the DNA sequence and include: 1. Substitution 2. Deletion 3. Insertion Slide 4 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations • A substitution mutation replaces one nucleotide for another. Substitutions usually affect no more than a single amino acid. Slide 5 of 24 End Show

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations • The effects of insertions or deletions are

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations • The effects of insertions or deletions are more dramatic. • The addition or deletion of a nucleotide causes a shift in the grouping of codons, therefore, these mutations are also called frameshift mutations.

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations In an insertion, an extra base is inserted

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations In an insertion, an extra base is inserted into a base sequence. This extra base causes the frame to be shifted. Slide 7 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations In a deletion, the loss of a single base is deleted and the reading frame is shifted. Slide 8 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations Chromosomal mutations involve changes in the number or structure of chromosomes. Chromosomal mutations include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. Slide 9 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations Kinds of Mutations Translocations occurs when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another. Slide 13 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show

12– 4 Mutations Significance of Mutations Many mutations have little or no effect on gene expression. If they have no effect, they are referred to as silent. • A point mutation may not change the amino acid that it is coded for. • Even if a change occurs, it may be not be significant enough to influence protein structure.

12– 4 Mutations Significance of Mutations Some mutations change phenotype and are the cause

12– 4 Mutations Significance of Mutations Some mutations change phenotype and are the cause of genetic disorders. Potential impacts include: • A mutation may cause a premature stop codon. • A mutation may change protein shape or the active site. • A mutation may change gene regulation. • Polyploidy is the condition in which an organism has extra sets of chromosomes.

12– 4 Mutations Significance of Mutations • Mutations in body cells do not affect offspring. • Mutations in sex cells can be harmful or beneficial to offspring. • Natural selection often removes mutant alleles from a population when they are less adaptive.

Mutations can be caused by several factors. Replication errors can cause mutations. Mutagens, such as UV ray and chemicals, can cause mutations. Some cancer drugs use mutagenic properties to kill cancer cells. Slide 17 of 24 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall End Show
