Mutations
-
What causes mutation?
Spontaneous
•An error in DNA replication
•rate is between 10-4 to 10-6 per base pair per generation
•DNA repair systems
-
Gene level mutations
point
Change in single base pair
silent mutations because noncoding/ Degeneracy of the genetic code/
do not affect the protein function
Nonsense mutation
(a.a. - stop codon,
UGA, UAA ,UAG)

DNA Damage
Spontaneousl
Tautomerization / Tautomeric shift
T and G is the keto form
A and C is the amino form
error (A-C and G-T)
-
-
Induced
-
-
Alkylating agents
Addition of alkyls (methyl, ethyl, occasionally propyl) groups to the bases/backbone of DNA
Base analogs
-
Bromouracil is an analog to thymine,
and base pairs with guanine instead
of adenine
-
-
Occurs in cells undergoing mitosis or meiosis, during DNA replication
