MUTATIONS Dr. Madhumita Bhattacharjee Assiatant Professor Botany Deptt. P.G.G.C.G. -11,Chandigarh Mutations Any change in the DNA sequence of an organism is a mutation. Mutations are the source of the altered versions of genes that provide the raw material for evolution. Most mutations have no effect on the organism, especially among the eukaryotes, because a large portion of the DNA is not in genes and thus does not affect the organism’s phenotype. Only a small percentage of mutations causes a visible but non-lethal change in the phenotype. Somatic Vs.Germinal Mutations Some people may have mutations in their skin cells or hair. Such mutations are termed Somatic. Germ mutations occur only in the sex cells& called Germinal Mutations These mutations are more threatening because they can be passed to offspring (forever). Somatic Mutation In normal body tissue May have vast effects on individual Not passed on to offspring Not of evolutionary significance Germinal Mutation Germinal or germ line Gametes or cells producing gametes Little or no effect on individual originating mutation Passed on to all cells of zygote formed Passed on to subsequent generations Source of new alleles Mutation Not necessarily harmful! Dependent on: 1) nature of mutation 2) environment Spontaneous occur randomly throughout genome rates: 10-6 - 10-4 /gene/cell Reversible Types of Mutations Point Mutations Base Pair Substitutions Silent Missense – new protein (Amino Acid Substitutions) Nonsense – stop codon Base Pair Insertions and deletions Triplet Repeats Frameshift Mutations Variation in Chromosome Number Variation in Chromosome structure Deletions Translocations Duplications Inversions Point mutations Base subsitution : neutral no change in final protein silent no change in amino acid missense amino acid substitution nonsense stop codon substitution Point Mutations: G G C C Glu (a) Silent mutation (d) Run-on mutation Point Mutations changes in one or a few nucleotides Substitution THE FAT CAT ATE THE RAT THE FAT HAT ATE THE RAT Insertion THE FAT CAT ATE THE RAT THE FAT CAT XLW ATE THE RAT Deletion THE FAT CAT ATE THE RAT THE FAT ATE THE RAT Point Mutations Frameshift Mutations – shifts the reading frame of the genetic message so that the protein may not be able to perform its function.

They have 47 chromosomes in stead of 46. Children with Down Syndrome develop slower, may have heart and stomach illnesses and vary greatly in their degree of inteligence. Changes in structure Of Chromosome Cri-du-chat Deletion of material on 5th chromosome Characterized by the cat-like cry made by cri-du-chat babies Varied levels of metal handicaps Sex Chromosome Abnormalities XYY Syndrome Normal male traits Often tall and thin Associated with antisocial and behavioral problems What Causes Mutations? There are two ways in which DNA can become mutated: Mutations can be inherited. Parent to child Mutations can be acquired. Environmental damage Mistakes when DNA is copied Spontaneous and Induced Mutation Spontaneous mutation rate = 1 in 109 (a billion) replicated base pairs or 1 in 106 ( a million) replicated genes. Mistakes occur during DNA Replication just before cell division. This is natural error rate of DNA polymerase. Induced Mutations: Caused by mutagens. Mutagens increase mistakes to 10–5 (100 thousand) or 10–3 ( a thousand) per replicated gene ( Induced Mutation : Mutagens Mutagens are things that cause mutations Chemical mutagens Base pair changers (nitrous acid) Base analogues (e.g.. 5 bromouracil) Frameshift mutagens (aflatoxin, benzpyrene) Radiation X rays, gamma rays break DNA, bases UV light causes knots in DNA strand Many common place items are capable of causing mutations: microwave, fruit from the store, radar, cellular phones…. Chemical Mutagens: Base pair changers (base modifiers) deaminators like nitrous acid, nitrosoguanidine, or alkylating agents like cytoxan cytoxan Nitrous acid Base analogues “mimic” certain bases but pair with others - E.g. 5-fluorouracil, cytarabine Incorporated as a “T” cytarabine Acts like a “C” Ionizing Radiations as mutagens Ionizing radiation (X rays, gamma rays, UV light) : causes the formation of ions that can react with nucleotides and the deoxyribosephosphate backbone. Nucleotide excision repairs mutations X-rays and Gamma Rays Cause Breaks in DNA Ionizing Radiation: UV UV radiation causes thymine dimers, which block replication. Light-repair separates thymine dimers Sometimes the “repair job” introduces the wrong nucleotide, leading to a point mutation.
