PPT-17.6 Genetic Mutations

If the enzyme that converts tyrosine to melanin is defective no melanin is produced and a genetic disease known as albinism results A peacock with albinism does not produce the melanin needed to make the bright colors of its feathers.

SAT VOCABULARY TWO So now we are going to study how DNA can mutate and cause genes to change. People who are deaf cannot hear and their deafness can be genetic. If someone is deaf, no sounds are ________. Small-scale mutations. Missense mutations. Nonsense mutations. Silent mutations. Frameshift mutations. Large scale mutations. Causes. Mutagens. The results of mutation. Mutations. Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence, caused by various mechanisms.. Conditional mutations. Point mutations. In . point mutations . the sequence of the DNA has been altered at a single position. Where this change consists of replacing one nucleotide by another, it is known as a . MISTAKES IN DNA. A MISTAKE CAN BE:. 1. A point mutation – substitution, addition, or removal of a single DNA base.. 2. A . frameshift. mutation – . a point mutation due to an addition . or deletion of a DNA base that causes a major change in the genetic code.. KEY CONCEPT:. . Mutations. are changes in genetic material.. VOCABULARY:. Mutation, point mutation, . frameshift. mutation, polyploidy. Mutations – extension from gene expression. . Changes in genotype. There are two basic types of mutations:. Gene mutations - mutations that produce changes in a single gene. Chromosomal mutations - mutations that produce changes in whole chromosomes. Gene mutations . mutation. Mutations. Actual Mutations . in fruit flies. What is a mutation?. A mutation is any change in a cell’s DNA. A mutation can occur in an individual gene. - results in a single changed protein.
