- What Are Mutations? ¬
Changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
* May occur in somatic cells (aren’t passed to offspring)
* May occur in gametes (eggs & sperm) and be passed to offspring
- Are Mutations Helpful or Harmful?
- Mutations happen regularly
- Almost all mutations are neutral
- Chemicals & UV radiation cause mutations
- Many mutations are repaired by enzymes
- Some type of skin cancers and leukemia result from somatic mutations
- Some mutations may improve an organism’s survival (beneficial)**
- What is a chromosome?.
- A chromosome is a DNA molecule that is tightly coiled around proteins called histones, which support its structure, to form a thread-like structures
- Types of Mutations
Deletion,
Inversion,
Translocation, Nondisjunction,
Duplication
- Type of mutation that due to breakage a piece of chromosome is lost
Deletion
- Type of mutation that chromosome segments breaks off and the segment flips around backwards and the segments reattaches
- Inversion
- This type of mutation occurs when a gene sequence is repeated
- Duplication
- Type of mutation that change in chromosome structure and content caused by the exchange of pieces between chromosomes.
- Translocation
- Type of mutation that failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis and caused gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes and it also cause a known disease
- Nondisjunction
- It is also known an trisomy 21 is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21
- down syndrome
- A condition that affects only females results when one of the X chromosomes ( sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing
- Turner syndrome
- A genetic disorder that affects only male it occurs when a boy is born with one or more extra X chromosomes.
- Klinefelter’s syndrome
- meiosis 1 starts normally tetrads line up in the middle of the cell, the one set of homologs does not separate, meiosis 2 occurs normally , all gametes have an abnormal number of chromosomes
- either one too many or too few
What is gene mutations.
- change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene, may only involve a single nucleotide and may be due to copying errors, chemicals, viruses etc

substitutions,
insertions,
deletions, frameshift

- Another CO2 is lost and the resulting compound is oxidized reducing NAD+ to NADH. The remaining molecule is them attached to coenzyme a by an unstable
- Isocitrate is oxidized reducing NAD+ to NADH. Then the resulting compound loses a CO2 molecule
- CoA is displaced by a phosphate group, which is transferred to GDP, forming GTP, a molecule with functions similar to ATP. GTP can also be used as shown, to generate ATP
