Study Notes
Reading Frame Shift Mutations
- A reading frame shift mutation alters the grouping of codons during translation, changing the amino acid sequence and potentially the protein's function.
Polyploidy
- Polyploidy is a condition where an organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes.
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
- Severe alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency arises from a single nucleotide change causing a single amino acid substitution. This is a missense mutation.
Adenine to Thymine Substitution
- Replacing adenine with thymine is a transition mutation (purine to purine).
Monosomy Example
- The provided text doesn't offer examples of monosomy. Monosomy is when a cell or organism only has one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual two.
Karyotype 92, XXXX
- A karyotype of 92, XXXX indicates tetraploidy (four sets of chromosomes) and a female fetus.
Adenine to Guanine Substitution
- Replacing adenine with guanine is a transversion mutation (purine to pyrimidine).
Karyotype 47, XX, +21
- This karyotype shows trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). The mutation occurred during gamete formation (meiosis) or very early in embryonic development.
180-Degree Chromosome Turn
- The chromosome mutation described is an inversion.
Barr Bodies in 46, XX Karyotype
- A 46, XX karyotype will have one Barr body in the interphase nucleus of somatic cells.
Karyotype 46,XX del(5p)
- 46,XX del(5p) indicates a deletion on the short arm (p) of chromosome 5.
Transversion Base Substitution
- A transversion base substitution involves replacing a purine with a pyrimidine or vice versa (e.g., adenine to cytosine, or guanine to thymine).
Neutral Mutation
- A neutral mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that has no effect on the organism's phenotype.
