Flashcards
Mutation
Mutation
A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to variations in protein function and phenotypes.
Deamination
Deamination
A process where adenine (A) in DNA is converted to hypoxanthine, which then pairs with cytosine (C) instead of thymine (T) during replication, resulting in a change in the DNA sequence.
Misalignment
Misalignment
A type of mutation where a section of DNA is incorrectly copied, leading to insertions or deletions of nucleotides.

Study Notes
Where New Alleles and Genes Come From
- Different versions of alleles noted:
- 49th codon - proline or alanine
- 262nd codon - alanine or valine
- 296th codon - valine or isoleucine
- AVI & PAV alleles identified.
- Genetic variation: Alanine (GCA) → Proline (CCA) at position 49.
The Structure of the Genetic Material
- The structure of DNA is described, including:
- Nucleotide components (sugar, phosphate, bases)
- Sugar-phosphate backbone
- Purines (adenine, guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine)
- DNA replicates through complementary base pairing.
Mutation by Deamination
- 5-methylcytosine can be deaminated into thymine.
- Deamination can lead to spontaneous mutations.
- Results from a change in DNA base sequence.
Mutation by Misalignment
- Mutations from misalignment in DNA replication can cause duplication and deletions
- Change in DNA sequence occurs due to misalignment and improper pairing during replication.
Premutation
- Mammalian cells experience 20,000 cases of spontaneous chemical decay per day.
- DNA replication errors number approximately 100,000 per division.
DNA Repair
- Polymerase adds an incorrect nucleotide to the new DNA strand.
- Polymerase detects mispaired bases.
- Polymerase uses 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity to remove incorrect nucleotides.
Importance of Proofreading during Replication
- Graphs illustrate the importance of proofreading during replication, showing survival rates of normal and deficient mice over time.
- Deficiencies in proofreading mechanisms lead to increased mortality.
How Mutations Alter Protein Function
- Shows flow of genetic information from DNA to mRNA to protein.
- Amino acid changes due to mutations.
- Example given - mutation in DNA sequence results in a change from valine to lysine and a change in the resulting protein's form and function.
The Genetic Code
- Table shows the genetic code, with codons and their corresponding amino acids.
- Different types of point mutations are given, such as:
- Transition (e.g., T-A → C-G)
- Transversions (e.g., T-A → G-C)
Point Mutation
- Illustrates the molecular structure of amino acids like lysine and threonine.
- Classifies mutations as no mutation (silent), transition, conservative/non-conservative missense, and nonsense.
Gene Duplication - Unequal Crossing Over
- Shows how unequal crossing over can lead to gene duplication.
- Gene duplication can create new genes through unequal crossing-over, leading to the creation of a new gene .
- This can result in the development of new genes and functions, increasing the genome's complexity.
Gene Duplication- Retroposition or Retroduplication
- Describes gene duplication through retroposition or retroduplication, explaining the process of reverse transcription of an RNA copy into DNA.
- Describes a pathway for the creation of new genes.
New Genes from Scratch
- Describes a new gene C220rf45 generated from non-coding DNA.
- Shows DNA sequences in different species to illustrate different gene sequences and how new genes might develop.
