Mutations: Primary tools of genetic
analysis
Classification of mutations by affect on
DNA molecule
• Mutations are heritable changes in base
sequences that modify the information
content of DNA.
• Forward mutation – changes wild-type to
different allele
• e.g. A+ Æ a or b+ Æ B
• Reverse mutation – causes novel mutation
to revert back to wild-type (reversion)
• e.g. a ÆA+ or B Æ b+

Lectured by Han-Jia Lin
Genetics 2011
• Substitution – base is replaced by one of the
other three bases
• Deletion – block of one or more DNA pairs is
lost
• Insertion – block of one or more DNA pairs is
added
• Inversion 1800 rotation of piece of DNA
• Reciprocal translocation – parts of
nonhomologous chromosomes change
places
• Chromosomal rearrangements – affect many

genes at one time

Genes specify the identity and order of
amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
Genetics 2011
N terminus of a protein contains a free amino group.
C terminus of protein contains a free carboxylic acid group.
• Proteins are linear polymers of amino acids
linked by peptide bonds.
• 20 different amino acids are building blocks of
proteins.
• NH2-CHR-COOH – carboxylic acid is acidic, amino
group is basic.
• R is the side chain that distinguishes each amino
acid.
