Mutations
Point mutations
single base change
base-pair
substitution
silent mutation
no amino acid change
redundancy in code
missense
change amino acid
nonsense
change to stop codon
When do mutations affect the
next generation?
Point mutation leads to Sickle cell anemia
What kind of mutation?
Sickle cell anemia
Mutations
Frameshift
shift in the reading
frame
insertions
changes everything
“downstream”
adding base(s)
deletions
losing base(s)
What’s the
value of
mutations?
Errors of Meiosis
Chromosomal Abnormalities
AP Biology
2006-2007
Chromosomal abnormalities
Incorrect number of chromosomes
nondisjunction
chromosomes don’t separate properly
during meiosis
parts of chromosomes are broken off and/or
lost during meiosis.
or may break and rejoin incorrectly
AP Biology
Chromosomal abnormalities
breakage of chromosomes
Deletion: piece of chromosome breaks off and is
AP Biology
lost.
Duplication: chromatid breaks off and attaches
to its sister chromatid
Chromosomal abnormalities
breakage of chromosomes
Inversion: chromosome breaks off and is
reinserted backwards-or not in the right
order
Translocation: chromosome breaks off and
is added to a nonhomologous
chrosomosome
AP Biology
replication
error of
Changes in chromosome structure
deletion
duplication
crossing over
error of
loss of a chromosomal segment
repeat a segment
inversion
reverses a segment
translocation
AP Biology
move segment from one chromosome
to another
Nondisjunction
Baby has wrong chromosome number
trisomy
cells have 3 copies of a chromosome
n+1
AP Biology
monosomy
cells have only 1 copy of a chromosome
n-1

Karyotype
A karyotype is a standardized
arrangement of all the chromosomes of
a cell
Homologous
chromosomes are
paired up, then they
are put in order from
the LARGEST
chromosome pair to
the smallest.

2 different sized sex chromosomes = male
Down syndrome
Trisomy 21
3 copies of chromosome 21
1 in 700 children born in U.S.
Chromosome 21 is the
smallest human chromosome
but still severe effects
Frequency of Down
syndrome correlates
with the age of the mother
AP Biology
Down’s syndrome
•decreased muscle tone at birth
•asymmetrical or odd-shaped skull
•round head with flat area at the back of the head
•slanting eyes
•small mouth with protruding tongue
•single crease on the palm
•slowed growth and development
•delayed mental and social skills
