MutationsChapter 12-4
+What are mutations?
Any change to the genetic code
Gene mutations: A change in one or a few nucleotides in a gene
Chromosomal Mutations: a change in the number or structure of chromosomes
+What are mutations?
Gene mutations 1) point mutation (substitution):
Change of 1 base into another resulting in a change in 1 amino acid in the sequence
+Effects of substitutions
Some substitutions result in coding for same amino acid
Some change amino acid but doesn’t affect overall protein
Some change 1 amino acid and changes structure of entire protein
+Sickle Cell Anemia

+2) Frameshift: Shift in the reading frame that causes every amino acid after the mutation to be different.
(Caused by Insertion or deletion)
Insertion
Deletion
+Effects of Frameshift mutations
Good: disables CCR5 HIV receptor which allows HIV virus to attack Immune cells
Mutations that allow evolution of species (survival of the fittest)
Bad: Causes severe disorders:Tay SachsChron’s diseasColor Blindness
+What are mutations?
Chromosomal mutations: A change in one or a few chromosomes
4 Types: 1) Deletion: Loss of part / all2) Duplication: Segment is repeated
3) Inversion: Segment is reversed4) Translocation: Segment breaks off and is reattached
