A. Overview
DON’T WORRY!! Just a photoshop award winner…
VI. Mutation
A. Overview
A change in the genome
Occurs at four scales of genetic organization:
1: Change in the number of sets of chromosomes ( change in ‘ploidy’)
2: Change in the number of chromosomes in a set (‘aneuploidy’)
3: Change in the number and arrangement of genes on a chromosome
4: Change in the nitrogenous base sequence within a gene
VI. Mutation
A. Overview
B. Changes in Ploidy
- These are the most dramatic changes, adding a whole SET of chromosomes
Triploidy occurs in 2-3% of all
human pregnancies, but almost
always results in spontaneous
abortion of the embryo.
Some triploid babies are born
alive, but die shortly after.
Syndactyly (fused fingers),
cardiac, digestive tract, and
genital abnormalities occur.
VI. Mutation
A. Overview
B. Changes in Ploidy
- These are the most dramatic changes, adding a whole SET of chromosomes
1. Mechanism #1: Complete failure of Meiosis
- if meiosis fails, reduction does not occur and a diploid gamete is produced. This can occur
because of failure of homologs OR sister chromatids to separate in Meiosis I or II, respectively.
Failure of Meiosis I
2n = 4
Gametes:

Failure of Meiosis II
2n = 4
Normal gamete formation is on the bottom, with 1n=2 gametes. The error occurred
up top, with both sister chromatids of both chromosomes going to one pole,
creating a gametes that is 2n = 4.

1. Mechanism #1: Complete failure of Meiosis
- if meiosis fails, reduction does not occur and a diploid gamete is produced. This can occur
because of failure of homologs OR sister chromatids to separate in Meiosis I or II, respectively.
- this results in a single diploid gamete, which will probably fertilize a normal haploid gamete,
resulting in a triploid offspring.
-
negative consequences of Triploidy:
1) quantitative changes in protein production and regulation.
2) can’t reproduce sexually; can’t produce gametes if you are 3n.

2) can’t reproduce sexually; can’t produce gametes if you are 3n.
3) but, some organisms can survive, and reproduce parthenogenetically (mitosis)
Like this Blue-spotted Salamander A. laterale,
which has a triploid sister species, A. tremblayi
A. tremblayi is a species that consists of
3n females that reproduce clonally –
laying 3n eggs that divide without
fertilization.

2) It replicates it’s DNA
but fails to divide... Now
it is a tetraploid bud cell.

producing 2n SPERM and 2n EGG

4) If it is self-compatible, it can mate
with itself, producing 4n zygotes
that develop into a new 4n species.
Why is it a new species?
How do we define ‘species’?
“A group of organisms that reproduce with one another and are
reproductively isolated from other such groups”
(E. Mayr – ‘biological species concept’)
How do we define ‘species’?
Here, the tetraploid population is even reproductively isolated from its
own parent species…So speciation can be an instantaneous genetic event…

3. The Frequency of Polyploidy
For reasons we just saw, we might expect polyploidy to occur more frequently in
hermaphroditic species, because the chances of ‘jumping’ the triploidy barrier to
reproductive tetraploidy are more likely. Over 50% of all flowering plants are
polyploid species; many having arisen by this duplication of chromosome number
within a lineage.

down anyway, in each cell
(Barr body).
In triple-X females, 2 X’s shut
down.
