Q

caused by interaction of DNA with a mutagen

A

Induced mutation

23
Q

bases that are similar enough to the standard bases to be incorporated into nucleotides during DNA replication

A

Base analogs

24
Q

It causes point mutations

A

Chemical mutagen

25
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

5-bromouracil is an analog of A

A

FALSE, it is an analog of T

26
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

2-aminopurine is an analog of A

27
Q

Intercalation causes insertion during DNA replication

A

Intercalating agents

28
Q

UV radiation, Ionizing radiation and heat are characterized as

A

Physical mutagen

29
Q

mobile pieces of DNA that can move from one location in a genome to another

A

Transposons or transposable elements

30
Q

Changes in genetic material - changes in DNA code - thus change in a gene

31
Q

the DNA code will have a base(or more) missing, added, or exchanged in a codon

A

gene mutations

32
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Only mutations in gametes (egg and sperm) are passed onto offspring.

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Mutations in body cells only affect the organism in which they occur and are not passed onto the offspring.

34
Q

Occurs when a base sequence of a codon is changed.

A

POINT MUTATIONS

35
Q

3 TYPES OF POINT MUTATIONS

A

Substitution
Deletion
Insertion

36
Q

A single nitrogen base is substituted for another codon. It may or may not affect the amino acid or protein.

A

SUBSTITUTION MUTATIONS

37
Q

A nitrogen base is inserted/ added to the sequence. It causes the triplet frames to shift. Always affects the amino acids and proteins.

A

INSERTION MUTATIONS

38
Q

A nitrogen base is deleted or removed from the sequence. It causes the triplet frames to shift. Always affects the amino acids and proteins.

A

DELETION MUTATIONS

39
Q

Has the least effect because it changes only one amino acid or it may change no amino acid.

A

SUBSTITUTION

40
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

Sickle cell anemia is an example of substitution mutations.

41
Q

Huntington’s disease is an example of substitution mutations, wherein a nitrogenous base is inserted to the sequence.

A

FALSE, it is an example of insertion mutation

42
Q

A genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base is changed, inserted or deleted from a sequence of DNA or RNA.

A

POINT MUTATIONS

43
Q

Mutations in DNA that do not have an observable effect on the organism’s phenotype. Specific type of neutral mutation.

A

Silent Mutations

44
Q

A change in one DNA base pair; the altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building the protein; results in a shortened protein that may function improperly

A

NONSENSE MUTATION

45
Q

Change in one DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene.

A

MISSENSE MUTATIONS

46
Q

This type of mutation occurs when addition or loss of DNA bases changes a gene’s reading frame. It shifts the groupings of these bases and changes the code for amino acid.

A

FRAMESHIFT MUTATION

resulting protein is non-functional

47
Q

removal of a piece of DNA

48
Q

addition of a piece of DNA

49
Q

types of chromosomal mutations

A

Deletion
Inversion
Duplication
Translocation

50
Q

changes that often occurs during meiosis

A

chromosomal mutations

51
Q

one or more nucleotides are lost or deleted from the chromosome

52
Q

a portion of a genetic material or chromosome is duplicated or replicated

A

DUPLICATION

53
Q

results from an unequal crossing over between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis

A

duplication

54
Q

a portion of a chromosome is relocated, and incorporated into a different chromosome

A

TRANSLOCATION
