Genotoxins Flashcards
genetic teratnogens
tratnogens that alter DNA, can be passed down from parent to child
Epigenetic teratongens
teranonges that interfere with growth, can’t be passed down by parents

Common teratogens
thalamide, methanol, ethylmercury, 3-chlorobiphenyl, rhubella
Fetal alcohlol syndrome
produced when a mother drinks ethanol or other alcohols, produces a distinct look (thin upper lip, small head, small eyes) and retards mental and physical growth

common mutagens
UV rays, radiation, alkaloids, flabanoids, from plants, mycotoxins from fungi
types of mutations
transition, translation, frame shift
transition mutation
an AT pair becomes a CG pair, or vice versa

transition mutation
Translation mutation
base pair gets flipped upside down, commonly accompanied by transition mutation

Translation mutation
Frame shift mutation
a base pair is added or deleated, massively messes with DNA coding
