RECALL…What is a mutation? § Any mistake or change in DNA sequence § Mutations

RECALL…What is a mutation? § Any mistake or change in DNA sequence § Mutations can only be inherited if they occur in sex cells § Two types: Gene or chromosomal

Chromosomal mutation: affects whole or part of a chromosome Gene mutation: Changes to the

Chromosomal mutation: affects whole or part of a chromosome Gene mutation: Changes to the bases in the DNA of ONE gene

Chromosomal Mutations § Change in # of chromosomes OR structure of the chromosome §

Chromosomal Mutations § Change in # of chromosomes OR structure of the chromosome § Abnormality detected on karyotype § Five types

1) Deletion § Loss of all or part of a chromosome

1) Deletion § Loss of all or part of a chromosome

2) Duplication § Produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome.

2) Duplication § Produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome.

3) Inversion § Part of a chromosome breaks out and reinserts backwards.

3) Inversion § Part of a chromosome breaks out and reinserts backwards.

4) Translocation § Part of a chromosome breaks off & attaches to another chromosome

5) Nondisjunction § Improper separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis § Results in extra

5) Nondisjunction § Improper separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis § Results in extra or missing chromosomes in gametes

Types of Nondisjunction § Trisomy~ 3 copies of a chromosome § Monosomy~ 1 copy

Types of Nondisjunction § Trisomy~ 3 copies of a chromosome § Monosomy~ 1 copy of a chromosome Remember—normally have 2 copies of each
