| 5 types of Point Mutations | Transition Transversion Missense mutation Nonsense mutation Framesense mutation |
| Mutant | entity with a mutation |
| Wild type | nonmutated, found in nature |
| Polyploidy | Triploidy |
| 5 examples of Chromosomal aberration | Deletion Insertion Duplication Translocation Inversion |
| Spontaneous mutation | no known cause |
| Induced mutation | Intentional mutanenesis |
| Aneuploidy | Monosomy Trisomy |
| Silent mutations | mutation with no effect |
| What are point mutations? | Changing a few, usually one, base pairs |
| Missense Mutation | altering one amino acid |
| Nonsense Mutation | A premature stop codon producing a truncated polypeptide |
| Frame shift mutation | Altering reading frame by insertion or deletion of sequence that is not a multiple of 3 By one insertion change the whole reading. |
| Chromosomal Aberrations | Change in chromosome structure |
| Deletion | Loss of sequence |
| Insertion sequence | Gain of sequence |
| Duplication | Copying sequence |
| Translocation | Transfer of sequence |
| Inversion | Flip flopped sequence |
| Crossing over within inversion regions results in ____________ | Duplication and deletion of chromosome arms |
| Chromosome3 Duplication-Deletion syndrome | Inversion |
| Cri-du-chat syndrome | Deletion of chromosome 5 Microcephaly Wide eyes Severe mental retardation Cry of the Cat |
| What is euploidy? | to possess complete sets of parental chromosomes |
| Haploidy | one complete set |
| diploidy | two complete sets |
| polyploidy | more than two sets |
| triploidy | three complete sets |
| What is the genetic make up of down syndrome? | trisomy 21 |
| What genetic make up is Edwards syndrome? | trisomy 18 |
| Can kids with edward syndrome live? | no |
| What is genetic make up of patau syndrome? | Trisomy 13 |
| What are symptoms of Edward's Syndrome? | club feet overlapping fingers only a fraction survive to birth and most die by 1 week |
| What is patau syndrome | central face deformities |
| Turner Syndrome genetic problem | Monosomy XO All or part of the x chromosome is missing |
| Symptoms of Turner Syndrome | physical abnormalities, such as short stature, lymphoedema, broad chest, low hairline, low-set ears, and webbed neck. |
| Klinefelter syndrome genetic make up | XXy |
| Klinefelter syndrome symptoms | gynamastia tall underdevelopment of sexual organs (testes) |
| Extra sex chromosomes | XYY Normal phenotype Indistinctable from wild type |
| What are endogenous mutagenic Processes? | naturally occuring within the cell |
| What are DNA ligase errors? | chromosomal aberrations |
| Examples of endogenous mutagenic processes | DNA ligase errors Unequal Crossing over Nondisjunction DNA Polymerase Infidelity Cytosome p-450 System Depurination Deamination Tautomeric Shifts |
| mutagenic | ability to produce mutations |
| mutagenesis | process of producing mutations |
| mutagen | factor that produces mutations |
| What are exogenous agents? | Environmental factors, from outside the body |
| What is unequal crossing over? | instead of exchanging in the same place it is unequal downstream |
| What is nondisjunction? | Aneuploidies During meiosis one of the chromosome pairs does not separate so two copies go to one cell and the other inherits nothing. |
| What is cytochrome p-450 system? | hepatic detoxification system, osidizing hydrophobic compounds for excretion, activating some mutagens |
| What is depurination? | purine excision |
| What is deamination? | Excision of an amino group from A,C or G |
| What are tautomeric shifts? | Transient changes in electron configuration of bases |
| What are examples of exogenous mutagenic agents? | Radioactive Chemicals |
| What is most common radioactive mutagen? | ultraviolet light |
| What is ultraviolet light in terms of mutation? | low energy, electromagnetic radiation, sun light, excites ele trons, induces thymine dimers |
| What are ionizing radiation in terms of mutagenesis? | Higher energy, alpha adn beta particles, x rays, excise electrons, and induce point mutations mostly |
| What are gamma rays in terms of mutogenesis? | very high energy, electromagnet radiation, cleave chemical bonds and induce chromosomal aberrations. |
| Chemical mutagens | alkylating agents strand cleavers base analogs intercalating agents insertional elements |
| What are alkylating agents? | nitrogen mustard, add methyl or ethyl groups. interfere with replication and cause poitn mutations and chromosomal aberrations |
| What are strand cleavers? | peroxides and sulfer compounds. React with phosphodiester bonds and create chromosomal aberrations |
| Base analogs | bromouracil. mimic nucleotides and cause transition mutations |
| What are intercalating agents | Proflavin. Wedge themselves into DNA and mimic a base pair. Stresses phosphodiester backbones resulting in DNA breaking |
| Insertional Elements | viruses and traonsposons. jump in and otu of chromosomes, disrupt, add or delete sequence |
| What is proofreading? | 3' - 5' exonuclease activity of the DNA replication apparatus |
| What is DNA ligase? | This enzyme automatically joins any free 3' OH of one strand with a 5" phosphate of another. |
| What is direct base repair? | enzymes that correct covalently damaged bases |
| What is excision repair? | Specific enzymes that recognize base pair mistakes or covalently damaged nucleotides, and nick an adjacent strand. Then other enzymes excise the inapproprate base pairs and fill in the gap. |
| What enzyme fills in gaps? | DNA Polymerase beta |
| Natural selection question | will be given a scenario and must be able to recognize what is most likely the case where natural selection is teh cause. |
