DNA MUTATIONS

Mutation • Mutation: Any change in a gene is a mutation.

Mutation • Mutation: Any change in a gene is a mutation.

Point Mutation • A change in one nucleotide, two general types. • Original: The

Point Mutation • A change in one nucleotide, two general types. • Original: The fat cat ate the wee rat. Point Mutation: The fat hat ate the wee rat.

Substitution • One nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide. ACCCUAGGCAUCAU ACCUUAGGCAUCAU “C” is substituted

Substitution • One nucleotide is replaced with another nucleotide. ACCCUAGGCAUCAU ACCUUAGGCAUCAU “C” is substituted with “U”

Substitution mistakes • However, a substitution in the first or the second base of

Substitution mistakes • However, a substitution in the first or the second base of the codon, changes the code for the amino acid. • UUU codon is for phenylalanine • UCU codon is for serine • CUU codon is for leucine

Frameshift Mutations • Either the insertion or a deletion of a nucleotide which results

Frameshift Mutations • Either the insertion or a deletion of a nucleotide which results in a shift in the code and mistakes from the point of mutation on. The fat cat ate the wee rat. • Frame Shift The fat caa tet hew eer at. • Original

Gene Mutations • 1. Translocations When part of one chromosome breaks off and is

Gene Mutations • 1. Translocations When part of one chromosome breaks off and is added to a different chromosome.

Gene Mutations • 2. Inversion – When part of a chromosome breaks out and

Gene Mutations • 2. Inversion – When part of a chromosome breaks out and is reinserted backwards.

Gene Mutations • 3. Insertion When part of a chromatid breaks off and attaches

Gene Mutations • 3. Insertion When part of a chromatid breaks off and attaches to its sister chromatid. The result is a duplication of genes on the same chromosome.

Gene Mutations • 4. Deletion When part of a chromosome is left out.

Gene Mutations • 4. Deletion When part of a chromosome is left out.
