Unit 1 –Chapter 4- Proteins, Mutations and Genetic Disorders- CfE Higher Human Biology
Lethal
Mutation
I am the elements that all proteins contain
Beta Thalassemia
I am the name given to mutations that involve
an alteration of a DNA nucleotide sequence
Mutagenic Agents
I am the condition caused by a frameshift
mutation
Antibodies
I am what happens if no protein is produced or
a faulty protein is expressed
Nucleotide Sequence Repeat Expansion
I am the protein whose components are protein I am the type of substitution mutation where
and carbohydrate
the altered codon codes for an amino acid that
still makes sense but not the original sense.
Tay-Sachs Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and
sometimes Sulphur
I am the three types of chromosome mutations
I am the units from which proteins are built and
of which there are about 20 different types
Point Mutation
Nonsense
I am the three types of point mutation
Amino Acids
I am the type of bonds that hold amino acids
together
I am an example of a condition caused by a
splice site mutation
Splicing
Splice sites
I am the name given to sites on the introns
where splicing takes place and where
mutations can occur resulting in introns being
retained
Mutant
I am the type of mutation where a repeat of a
nucleotide sequence occurs
Missense
I am the name given to agents like X-rays and
gamma rays that can increase mutation rate
Peptide and Hydrogen Bonds
I am the type of substitution mutation where a
stop codon replaces another codon forming a
shorter than normal polypeptide that is unable
to function
Glycoproteins
I am the Y-shaped proteins produced by white
blood cells to defend the body against antigens
I am the name given to an individual who is
affected by a mutation
Substitution, Insertion, Deletion
I am the name given to mutations that involve a
change in one DNA nucleotide
Deletion, Duplication and Translocation
I am the process of post-transcriptional
processing of mRNA where introns are
removed and exons joined together
I am the word used to describe a mutation
where a substantial change to the
chromosome’s structure occurs
Single Gene Mutation
