DESCRIPTION
Mutations?!? Now we’re going to look at mutations in the DNA. When you hear about mutations, you may think about some teenage turtles or growing an extra arm, but the word mutate just means change. Let’s look at what happens when we change the sentence/DNA.TRANSCRIPT

Changes in DNA and Their Impacts

AnalogyWe will be using a sentence as an analogy representing a strand of DNA.
Our sentence is:The fat cat ate the wee rat. If this sentence represents a strand of DNA, what does each word represent? What does each letter represent?

SubstitutionThe fat cat ate the wee rat.The fat cat ate the wet rat. What changed?
What does this represent?
How would this type of change affect the protein?

DeletionThe fat cat ate the wee rat.The fat cat att hew eer at. What changed?
What does this represent?
How would this type of change affect the protein?

Point Mutations vs. Frameshift MutationsThe substitution example was a point mutation. These last two examples of deletion and insertion were frameshift mutations. What’s the difference between a point mutation and a frameshift mutation?
Which is worse? Why?

Non-disjunctionEx: Trisomy 21 or Down Syndrome
Sometimes there is an error in meiosis when egg or sperm cells divide resulting in too many or too few chromosomes.
How do you think this type of change would impact protein synthesis?

Mutation ImpactThe impact of a mutation on an individual also depends on where and when it occurs. If there was a mutation in the DNA of a zygote, how would that impact the individual?
How might a mutation in a skin cell affect an individual?
