Replication Error

• Nondisjunction: chromosomes fail to properly separate during anaphase

Page 3: MUTATIONS Mutations can occur in DNA replication Protein Synthesis

Whole chromosome mutations: May be diagnosed by a karyotype. Examples: Down’s syndrome (trisomy), Turner’s syndrome (X0), Klinefelter’s syndrome (XXY)

Page 4: MUTATIONS Mutations can occur in DNA replication Protein Synthesis

Mutations can affect a single base, several bases, or an entire chromosome.Example: translocation

Page 5: MUTATIONS Mutations can occur in DNA replication Protein Synthesis

Mutations can occur during replication or protein synthesis.

Mistakes could occur in either step

TRANSCRIPTION TRANSLATION

Occurs inside the nucleus when the DNA strands separate

Occurs in the cytoplasm at a ribosome

mRNA is made using the DNA template, then it leaves the nucleus via a nuclear pore

mRNA lined up at ribosome has “codon” (three base sequence) that the tRNA matches with an “anticodon”.

Point mutation: a single base is incorrect.

Which amino acid would be delivered?

Would every single

base change

result in a different

amino acid?

Internal Mutations: a change in nucleotide sequence

• Occur during replication• Usually fatal to the cell, but vital for increasing genetic variety• Mutagen = agent that causes mutations (UV rays, chemicals, asbestos, cigarette smoke, etc.)
