Mutations

QuestionAnswer
Mutation a permanent change in an organism's DNA (Sometimes inherited by ofspring)
Chromosomal mutation affecting a whole or a part of the chromosome
Gene mutation changes to the bases in the DNA of one gene ( A + T & G + C)
When does gene mutations take place? It takes place when chromosomes duplicate during interphase
What are the three types of gene mutations A necleotide added, deleted, or subsituted
What are the causes of mutations? Occur naturaly, UV radiation, chemicals, or genetic
How is down syndrome caused? an extra copy of the 21st chromosome.
Is a mutation bad or good? Both
Apoptosis If a cell is damaged beyond repair, it will self destruct
What are the 3 stages in Interphase G1 (Gap 1), S ( Synthises), G2 (Gap 2)
G1 (Gap 1) The cell will individually grow
G2 (Gap 2) The cell grows more before mitosis
S (Synthises) Replicates DNA
Checkpoint 1 In G1, is the cell growing well enough, is DNA damaged, does the cell have recources it needs to keep going
Checkpoint 2 In G2,, checks if DNA was replicated correctly in S phase, is it growing well, does it have recourses
Checkpoint 3 In Metaphase, checks if chromosomes are lighned up in the middle correctly before seperating
Positive regulators Allow cell to keep moving on between checkpoints ( Cyclin, CDK)
Negitive regulators Make cell stop between checkpoints ( p53 - can initiate Apoptosis)
g0 A resting phase, cells here preform cell functions but are not dividing
karyotyping One way to identify a genetic disorder (chromosome analysis)
GMO Genetically modified organisms (Their genes are altered on purpose with the goal of producing foods with desirable traits.)
