GENETIC DISORDERS. Mutation –change in a gene resulting in change in genetic information. may be spontaneous or caused by a mutagen Somatic mutations are usually not noticed Gametic mutations are more severe Not all mutations are bad !. SINGLE-GENE DEFECTS. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Mutation –change in a gene resulting in change in genetic information
• may be spontaneous or caused by a mutagen• Somatic mutations are usually not noticed• Gametic mutations are more severe• Not all mutations are bad!

SINGLE-GENE DEFECTS• Misplacement, insertion or deletion of one base pair • May result in incorrect amino acid• May result in shift of reading frame
• Congenital Defects: –Visible at birth(club foot, spina bifida,
congenital heart defects)–Caused by environmental factors (FAS,
German measles)• Inherited
–Sickle Cell Anemia, Cystic Fibrosis

INVERSIONS• Part of chromosome is
flipped around 180° from its normal orientation.
• Happens when chromosome breaks occur.
• Broken piece may reattach, but not necessarily in the same orientation as before

TRANSLOCATIONS
• Detachment of a segment of a chromosome, and reattachment to another non-homologous chromosome.
• Some genes wind up on a completely different chromosome

ANOMALIES OF CHROMOSOME NUMBER
• Polyploidy is common in plants
• Gametes don’t reduce chromosome #
• Result in cells with multiple copies of the genome

ANOMALIES OF CHROMOSOME NUMBER
• Aneuploidy – more common in humans
• Usually lethal before or shortly after birth
• Monosomic and Trisomic

NONDISJUNCTION
• Occurs when homologous chromosomes fail to separate after synapsis
• Most nondisjunction events are lethal to the fetus

DOWNS SYNDROME
• Results from a third copy of chromosome 21
• Called a trisomy• Individuals have 47
chromosomes in every body cell

SEX CHROMOSOME NONDISJUNCTION DISORDERS
TURNER SYNDROME• Occurs when nondisjunction causes a gamete
to have a missing sex chromosome (X O)• Sterile females• 1 in 10 000 live births

SEX CHROMOSOME NONDISJUNCTION DISORDERS
KLINEFELTER’S SYNDROME• Genotype of XXY (extra sex chromosome)• Sterile males, breast development• 1 in 800 live births
