  • What is a mutation?

    Heritable changes in the genetic information
  • What are gene mutations?

    • Point mutation: replace one base for another base
    • Transversion: purine to pyrimidine
    • Transition: purine to purine
  • What is a nonsense mutation?

    Change of a codon that usually codes for an amino acid, into a stop codon. The protein becomes shorter.
  •    What is the effect of promotor mutations?

    Transcription factors cannot bind properly and that blocks or activates transcription
  • What is the effect of spile site mutations?

    Usually intron are removed from the mRNA. That is done at specific sequence. When there is a change in that sequence, the intron will not be removed
  • What is a deletion?

    Removing of one or more nucleotide pairs from the DNA sequence
  • What is a frameshift mutation?

    The codon translation reading frame shifts and that completely changes the amino acid seqeunce.
  • What is an in-frame mutation?

    When 3 DNA base pairs are added or deleted. This doesn't result in frame shifting
  • What are the types of chromosomal mutations?

    • Deletion: removing one segment on the chromosome
    • Duplication: copy a segment on the chromosome
    • Inversion: turn around a piece of the chromosome
      • pericentric: includes the centromere
      • paracentric: excludes the centromere
    • Translocation: 
      • nonreciprocal intrachromosomal 
      • nonreciprocal interchromosomal
      • reciprocal interchromosomal
    • Aneuploidy: different number of chromosomes than what you actually need
