🗑
mutagenesis   process of producing mutations  
🗑
mutagen   factor that produces mutations  
🗑
What are exogenous agents?   Environmental factors, from outside the body  
🗑
What is unequal crossing over?   instead of exchanging in the same place it is unequal downstream  
🗑
What is nondisjunction?   Aneuploidies During meiosis one of the chromosome pairs does not separate so two copies go to one cell and the other inherits nothing.

🗑
What are ionizing radiation in terms of mutagenesis?   Higher energy, alpha adn beta particles, x rays, excise electrons, and induce point mutations mostly  
🗑
What are gamma rays in terms of mutogenesis?   very high energy, electromagnet radiation, cleave chemical bonds and induce chromosomal aberrations.  
🗑
Chemical mutagens   alkylating agents strand cleavers base analogs intercalating agents insertional elements  
🗑
What are alkylating agents?   nitrogen mustard, add methyl or ethyl groups. interfere with replication and cause poitn mutations and chromosomal aberrations  
🗑
What are strand cleavers?   peroxides and sulfer compounds. React with phosphodiester bonds and create chromosomal aberrations  
🗑
Base analogs   bromouracil. mimic nucleotides and cause transition mutations  
🗑
What are intercalating agents   Proflavin. Wedge themselves into DNA and mimic a base pair. Stresses phosphodiester backbones resulting in DNA breaking  
🗑
Insertional Elements   viruses and traonsposons. jump in and otu of chromosomes, disrupt, add or delete sequence  
🗑
What is proofreading?   3' - 5' exonuclease activity of the DNA replication apparatus  
🗑
What is DNA ligase?   This enzyme automatically joins any free 3' OH of one strand with a 5" phosphate of another.  
🗑
What is direct base repair?   enzymes that correct covalently damaged bases  
🗑
What is excision repair?   Specific enzymes that recognize base pair mistakes or covalently damaged nucleotides, and nick an adjacent strand. Then other enzymes excise the inapproprate base pairs and fill in the gap.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
