MUTATIONMUTATION
a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of a cell’s DNA
can be passed on to daughter cells
typically neutral or harmful, rarely beneficial►allow species to change and adapt over time►only those adapted to their environment will
survive

►Multicellular organisms have two types of mutations:
Somatic mutations
►passed on during mitosis, but not to subsequent generations
Germ-line mutations
►occur in cells that give rise to gametes, passed to subsequent generations

Mutations Can Be:Mutations Can Be:
► spontaneous take place naturally as a result of normal
molecular interactions (ex. DNA pol made a mistake, 1/10–9)►ex. DNA replication, transposons (jumping genes)
►induced caused by agents outside the cell mutagen: a substance that increases the rate
of mutation

► ex. nitrous acid (HNO2) can turn C in DNA into U
► ex. benzpyrene, a component of cigarette smoke adds a large chemical group to G, making it unavailable for
base pairing
► ex. ionizing radiation (X-rays) produces highly reactive chemical species called free radicals,
which can change bases in DNA to unrecognizable (by DNA polymerase) forms
It can also break the sugar–phosphate backbone of DNA, causing chromosomal abnormalities
UV is absorbed by thymine in DNA, causing it to form interbase covalent bonds with adjacent nucleotides. This, too, plays havoc with DNA replication.

Types of MutationsTypes of Mutations1. single-gene mutations
changes in nucleotide sequence of one gene
a) point mutation (mispairing) most frequent type single base pair is substituted/inserted/deleted
b) frameshift mutation (strand slippage) change of reading frame a HUGE deal!

MECHANISMS OF REPAIRMECHANISMS OF REPAIR
1. DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase II
- both proof-read and “fix” mistakes as new DNA is being made
99% of mistakes are caught this way incorrect base is taken out, correct
added

Mutations and EvolutionMutations and Evolution
►typically neutral or harmful, rarely beneficial
►allow species to change and adapt over time
• random accumulation of mutations (in the extra copies of genes) can lead to the production of new useful proteins and new functions!

Our sense of smell sucks…► 80 genes were lost in the human lineage after
separation from the last common ancestor with the chimpanzee. 36 of those were for olfactory receptors.
Our immune systems are amazing, allowing us to live in very large groups
► Genes involved in chemoreception and immune response are overrepresented
We’re the “hairless ape”► A gene for type I hair keratin was lost in the human
lineage. The loss of that particular gene may have caused the thinning of human body hair. The gene loss occurred relatively recently in human evolution—less than 240,000 years ago.

Our jaws are not all that useful
► Stedman et al. (2004) stated that the loss of the sarcomeric myosin gene MYH16 in the human lineage led to smaller jaw muscles.
► They estimated that the mutation that led to the inactivation (a two base pair deletion) occurred 2.4 million years ago, predating the appearance of Homo ergaster/erectus in Africa.
The period that followed was marked by a strong increase in cranial capacity, promoting speculation that the loss of the gene may have removed an evolutionary constraint on brain size in the genus Homo.

chimps, humans have evolved weak jaw muscles and jaw bones – cooked food and your brain?

►The expansion of the human brain may have involved a snowball effect, in which initial mutations caused further mutations that enhanced the brain even more

► In 6 million years, our diet gradually changed from fruit and leaves to starchy grains. Genes involved in digestion offer a timeline to those dietary changes

We can TALK►Humans and Neanderthals also share the
FOXP2 gene variant associated with brain development and with speech in humans, indicating that Neanderthals may have been able to speak.
►Chimps have two amino acid differences in FOXP2 compared with human and Neanderthal FOXP2
