🗑
3 possible outcomes of mutation   no effect, minor, great  
🗑
no effect (mutation)   Mutation does not change protein. it stays neutral- since some amino acids have more than one code, a mutation may not change the resulting protein.  
🗑
Minor (mutation)   a change in the gene can affect apperance, skin color, eye color  
🗑
Great(major mutation)   causes genetic disorders- passed down to offspring by germ (gamete) cell. seffects can be good, plant having increase resistance to diseases or bad to have an illness.  
🗑
what proof reads DNA   certain enzyemes  
🗑
are all mutations harmful   no some can be a benefit to the organism, to make them resistance to a pesticides or other disease only 5% of the human DNA is genes, if it occurs in the noncoding region of DNA, then chances are the mutation will have no effect.  
🗑
Mutation in somatic cells   mutation of the body cells  
🗑
mutation in the Germ cells   mutation in the sex cells, gametes more harmful. they can be passed on to offsprings.  
🗑
Chromosomal mutations   changes the structure of the chromosomes *loss or gain  
🗑
what are the 5 main types of chromosomal mutation?   Deletion, inversion, duplication, translocation, non-disjunction  
🗑
Deletion (chromosomal mutation)   due to breakage of chromosome, a piece of the chromosome is lost  
🗑
Inversion (chromosomal mutation)   Chromosome segment breaks off, segment flips around backwards, segment reattaches  
🗑
Duplication(chromosomal mutation)   occurs when a gen sequence is repeated  
🗑
Translocation (chromosomal mutation)   involves 2 chromosomes that are not homologous, part of the one chromosomes is transferred to another chromosomes  
🗑
non-disjunction (chromosomal mutation)   failure of the chromosome to separate during meiosis. causes the gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes  
🗑
Gene mutation   *change in the nucleotides sequence of genes * may only involve a single nucleotide, *may be due to copying errors, chemicals or virus  
🗑
prime time for mutations to occure   meiosis  
🗑
5 main types of gene mutation   Point mutation, frameshift, insertion, deletion, subsitution  
🗑
point mutation (gene mutation)   change of a SINGLE(one) nucleotide, includes: deletion, insertion or substitution of one of the nucleotides
