genetic mutations
DESCRIPTION
Genetic Mutations. Genetic mutations. Not all are harmful Most cause little/no change Have to be reproductive cell mutations to repeat in future generations Somatic mutations not inheritable. What are mutations?. Changes in the genetic sequence that affect genetic information Two types - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

What happens when there is a What happens when there is a mutation?mutation?
The mistake can cause the cell to make an incorrect The mistake can cause the cell to make an incorrect proteinprotein• see a see a different phenotypedifferent phenotype than normal ex. White Buffalo than normal ex. White Buffalo
If the mutation occurs in a single type of cell, If the mutation occurs in a single type of cell, • it will affect it will affect only the cell that carries itonly the cell that carries it ex. Skin cells ex. Skin cells
If the mutation occurs in a sex cell, If the mutation occurs in a sex cell, • it can be it can be passed to the offspring and affect their phenotypepassed to the offspring and affect their phenotype
Mutations can introduce Mutations can introduce genetic variationgenetic variation• the change can be the change can be helpful, harmful or neitherhelpful, harmful or neither

• Substitution of the wrong nucleotide (nitrogen base) in Substitution of the wrong nucleotide (nitrogen base) in place of correct oneplace of correct one
Frameshift mutations – occur when a nucleotide is either Frameshift mutations – occur when a nucleotide is either inserted or deleted, altering the trios of nitrogen basesinserted or deleted, altering the trios of nitrogen bases• More severe than point mutations because it effects all of More severe than point mutations because it effects all of

DeletionDeletion- - loss of all or part of loss of all or part of

- missing genes - missing genes may prove fatalmay prove fatal
DuplicationDuplication- - segment repeatedsegment repeated
- usually harmless- usually harmless

TranslocationTranslocation- non-homologous - non-homologous chromosomes sharing chromosomes sharing or exchanging or exchanging information information
