orange sections identify the
summary; underlined words
= vocabulary! Hyperlinks are
in turquoise.

The Verbiage: Mutant
What is the meaning of the word mutant? How
does it relate to the word mutation? On the
post-it note, jot down some definitions in your
own words.

What is a mutation?
• A mutation is a change in the DNA base sequence.
– What would happen if a mutation occurs in a gene?
– The protein created could be changed!

• Point mutations occur when there is a change in a
single nucleotide of a DNA sequence.
• There are three types:
– Missense
– Nonsense
– Silent

does the DNA
sequence “CAT”
code for? Turn and
talk to your
neighbor.

Point Mutations Cont.
• Point silent mutations
occur when there is no
change in the resulting
protein.
– CAT (Original; AA = Val)
– CAC (Mutation; AA =
Val; silent)

Point Mutations Cont.
• Point missense mutations
occur when there is a
change in the resulting
protein.
– CAT (Original; AA = Val)
– CCT (Mutation; AA = Gly;
Missense)

Knowledge Check
What amino acid
does the DNA
sequence “ATG”
code for? What
about “ATT”? Turn
and talk to your
neighbor.

Point Mutations Cont.
• Point nonsense mutations occur when there is a
change in the resulting protein because of an early
stop codon.
– ATG (Original; AA = Val)
– ATT (Mutation; Stop; nonsense)
Image Accessed 01/04/2011
Frameshift Mutations
• Frameshift mutations completely change how codons
are read in a gene because of an insertion or deletion.
Animation
- insertion occurs when 1+ nucleotides are added to the
gene.
- deletion occurs when 1+ nucleotides are removed from
the gene.

Karyotype
• Remember a karyotype is a picture of the
chromosomes of an organism arranged from largest
to smallest; a tool used to diagnose chromosomal
disorders.

Normal Male (XY)
• Males:
• 46 xsomes (23
pairs)
• Autosomes (22
pairs) – non sex
xsomes
• X and Y
chromosomes
are the sex
xsomes for
males.
Image Accessed 01/04/2011
Normal Female (XX)
• Females:
• 46 xsomes (23
pairs)
• Autosomes (22
pairs) – non sex
xsomes
• Two X
chromosomes are
the sex xsomes for
females.

The Verbiage: Aneuploid
Aneuploid - having a chromosome number that
is not an exact multiple of the usually haploid
number

Get it? Got it? Good!
1. What is the sex of parent (A, left)? Explain. (B,
right)? Explain.
2. Which parent (A) or (B) would pass a mutation to
their child? Explain.

Chromosomal Mutations
• Chromosomal mutations result
from a change in the # or
structure of chromosomes.
• They can include “extra”
chromosomes or parts moved or
missing.

Chromosomal Mutations Cont.
• Original gene sequence on the chromosome =
ABC DEF

•
Deletion – AB DEF (part “C” deleted)
Duplication – ABBC DEF (part “B” doubled)
Inversion – AED CBF (sections switched)
Translocation – ABC JKL (sections added from a different

showing
male mutation on
chromosome 7,
which determines
cystic fibrosis.
Does that mean
that every cell has
this mutation?
