DNA Mutations and Repair
Chapter 17
pp. 481-
Mutation Rates and Frequency
1 to 10 mutations per million gametes
Incidence within a group
For example: swine flu incidence in the U.S
Causes of Mutations
Spontaneous
Induced
Environmentally Induced DNA changes
Intercalating agents

Insert and distort DNA
Radiation
Hiroshima (Aug. 6th, 1945)
(Techa River)
Thymine Dimers
SOS
Chemicals and Reactions Leading to Mutations
alklyating
Deamination
Adds OH
Oxidative radicals

Reactive forms of
oxygen can lead to
these radicals
