Effects on DNA
• Mutagenic factors can cause mutations
– Change in the DNA that affects the sequence of
nitrogen bases in the DNA
• Changes that occur in the DNA sequence may
or may not lead to changes in an organism
What are some mutagenic factors
and what effects do they have on
7
What is a mutation?
• Change in an organisms DNA is called a
mutation.
• Not uncommon
• May or may not affect the phenotype of an
organism
– Physical characteristics
• May or may not have an impact of
offspring
What are some mutagenic factors
and what effects do they have on
8
Effects on organism
• Human body has DNA repair enzymes that
help find and fix mutations
• Although, sometimes these enzymes don’t
work and the mutation is not fixed
– The DNA site for the production of that
enzyme has been damaged by the mutation
• Errors or mutations can build up overtime
and eventually effect how the cell works.
– Mutations are a significant cause of aging

genetic mutations in spite of your
body’s DNA repair enzymes.

Mutations
• Two main types:
– Gene Mutation
• Mutation that causes a change in a
single gene
– Chromosomal Mutation
• Mutation that involves the entire
chromosome
• Both can be caused by nature, random
events, or environmental factors

Gene Mutations
• Error in the sequence of nitrogen bases in
a single gene
– Remember: Codon (sequence of 3 nitrogen
bases) corresponds to a particular amino acid
• Two types of Gene Mutations:
– Point mutation
– Frame shift mutation

Point Mutation
• Change in a single base is called a point mutation
• Each of these words represents different amino acid.

• Still makes sense but the meaning is different
– Effects are usually minimal if any at all

than do Point Mutations.

and what effects do they have on
20
Answer

codon (unless they create a premature
stop codon).
• A frame shift mutation affects all the
codons in a gene that follow it.

21
Chromosomal Mutations
• Changes in the number of chromosomes
or their structure
• Occur: Chromosomes fail to separate
correctly during gamete production
– Nondisjunction

or 17-18

codon

Chromosomal mutation
Inversion

breaks off, changes direction, and
recombines to the same chromosome

correct chromosome

chromosome and combines with a
different chromosome

mutation occurs in
• Can occur in two types of cells
– Somatic (body cell)
– Germ line (gametes: sperm/egg)

Germ Line Mutations
• Mutations can be passed down to offspring
(inherited)
• Usually occur during Meiosis
– Type of cell division the produces gametes in sexually
reproducing organisms
• Mutations in germ line affect the phenotype of
the offspring.
• Many are so severe that offspring do not
develop properly and die before they can
reproduce or are sterile
– Incapable of producing offspring

Impact on Phenotype
• Many gene mutations do not affect an
organisms phenotype.
• Mutation that does not affect the resulting
protein is called a silent mutation.
• Mutation that occurs on the noncoding
region (intron) may not affect the encoded
protein at all.
– Segment of gene that does not code for an
amino acid

and what effects do they have on
47
Impact on the Phenotype
• A very small percentage of all mutations actually
have a positive effect these are called beneficial
mutations.
• These mutations lead to new versions of
proteins that help an organism and its future
generations better adapt to changes in their
environment.

– Deletion of CCR5 gene leads to HIV resistance
– Found in European descent
– Believe to be a result of survivors of the bubonic
plague or small pox

Some genetic mutations are
associated with increased risk for a
particular disease. Tests exist for
some of these genes. What might
be the advantages and
disadvantages of being tested
What are some mutagenic factors
and what effects do they have on
49
Answer
• Advantage:
– You would know what symptoms to look for
– You would be able to prepare for treatment
• Disadvantage:
– There may be no cure for the disease
– Simply having the gene may not mean that
getting the disease is inevitable
