MUTATION
 Heritable changes in
the amount or
structure of DNA, or
changes in the
sequence of
nucleotide bases of a
gene.
 Occur randomly and
spontaneously.
 Account for
evolutionary changes
in organisms.
2 types of mutation:
1. Gene mutation
2. Chromosome mutation

7.1 Mutation classification and types
Types of mutation

Spontaneous mutation Induced mutation

 mistakes happen
spontaneously during
DNA replication, DNA mutations that cause by
repair, or DNA mutagen
recombination.
e.g: exposure to mutagen
e.g: nondisjunction during
meiosis
( details will be explain in
16.3)
MUTAGEN
 A physical or chemical agent which
induces a higher rate of mutation by
altering the structure or sequence of
nucleotide bases in DNA.
 Two types of mutagens:

- physical mutagen
- chemical mutagen
TYPES OF MUTAGEN

 •PHYSICALMUTAGEN
 •UV rays
 •Gamma rays
 •X-rays
 •CHEMICALMUTAGEN
 •Colchicine
 •Ethidium bromide
16.1 Mutation classification and types

Mutant

An organism carrying a gene that has


undergone a mutation that shows new
phenotype traits as a result from
mutation
New phenotypes traits showed by this
children as a result of mutation
GENE MUTATION
 Change in the sequence of nucleotide
bases of the DNA.
 The mRNA molecule transcribed from that
mutated gene will copy the mistake
leading to alteration of nucleotide bases.
 Cause errors in the protein produced
which might greatly affect the function of
the protein.
 Point mutation vs frameshift mutation.
7.2 Gene mutation

Classification of gene mutation

BASE SUBSTITUTION

one or a few base pairs in the nucleotide


sequences in genes is substitute

BASE INSERTION

addition of 1 or a few base pairs in the


nucleotide sequences in genes
7.2 Gene mutation

BASE DELETION

loss of 1 or a few base pairs in nucleotide


sequences

BASE SUBSTITUTION

 one or a few base pairs in the nucleotide


sequences in genes is replaced with another
base pairs.

 Can cause changes in base sequence –


results in changes of codon . E.g: (UAU
change to UGU)

 1 codon = 3 base/ nucleic acid (coding for 1


amino acid)
Changes in codon:

Missense mutation nonsense mutation

 Leads to amino acid changes  Changes a codon to stop


The altered codon codes for codon (UAG / UAA / UGA )
different amino acid  Leading to a nonfunctional
protein
BASE SUBSTITUTION

Before mutation CAC-AAG-UAU-CAC-UAA


his lys tyr his stop

Missense mutation CAC-AAG-UGU-CAC-UAA


his lys cys his stop

Nonsense mutation CAC-AAG-UAG


his lys stop
Some substitutions are called silent
mutations because they have no effect on
the encoded protein.

Means that a change in a base pair may


transform one codon into another that
translated into the same amino acid.

Happens because of redundancy in the


genetic code.
Sickle – cell anaemia

Normal RBC are


compact & flexible,
enabling them to
squeeze through
small capillaries.

Sickle RBC are


stiff and angular,
causing them to
become stuck in
small capillaries.
BASE INSERTION AS FRAMESHIFT
MUTATION

• An extra nucleotide base pair is inserted into the DNA


nucleotide sequence of a gene

• This causes the whole base sequence (after the point of


mutation) to be shifted & every single triplet code is altered

• This is the frameshift mutation (where the resulting


polypeptide consists of an entirely new sequence of amino
acids)
EXAMPLE OF BASE INSERTION

Normal code: GAG-GUU-CCU-AAA-CCU


glu val pro lys pro
Insertion : GAG-GUU-CCU-GAA-ACC
glu val pro glu thr

Insertion of improperly group


base G into codons
BASE DELETION AS FRAMESHIFT
MUTATION

• A nucleotide base pair is deleted from the DNA


nucleotide sequence of a gene

• This also causes the frameshift mutation (which effect is


very serious)

• Eg. of disorder due to base deletion is thalasemia


- deletion of nucleotide base pairs for genes which
control the production of Hb α and β chains
- major thalassemia causes serious anaemia
EXAMPLE OF BASE DELETION

 Normal code: GAG-GUU-CCU-AAA-CCU


glu val pro lys pro
 Deletion : GAG-UUC-CUA-AAC-CUA
glu ser leu asn leu

improperly group into


Deletion of codons
base G
BASE INVERSION

2 base pairs or more in nucleotide sequence are


inverted
Change the codons => changes in amino acid
Usually the effect is minor phenotype
abnormality
Effect may not be as severe as frameshift
mutation
EXAMPLE OF BASE INVERSION

Normal code : AGA-GTC-TTC


ser glu lys

Base inversion: AGA-TGC-TTC


ser thr lys

Inversion of base G
and T Change amino acid
CHROMOSOME MUTATION
 Due to change in the chromosome number
or chromosome structure (chromosome
aberration).
 Change in chromosome structure
(chromosomal aberration):
- inversion
- translocation
- deletion
- duplication
Changes in chromosome structure

O
1. Deletion- loss of part of Deletion M
chromosome O
S

Duplication
2. Duplication- extra copy made of M
part of chromosome E

Inversion M
3. Inversion- reverse direction of U
T

Translocation T
4. Translocation- part of one I
O
attaches to another chromosome N
Inversion
 Chromosome
segment excises
and reintegrates
oriented 1800 from
the original
orientation.
 E.g. acute myeloid
leukemia
Translocation
 A section of a
chromosome
break off and then
attached to
another part of the
same / different
chromosome.
 E.g. down
syndrome
Deletion
 Loss of a
chromosome
segment, either from
the ends or internally.
 Cause hemizygous
condition on the
homologue.
 E.g. Cri-du-chat
syndrome.
Duplication
 A chromosome
segment being
repeated in the same
chromosome.
 Producing extra alleles
for a trait.
 E.g. Charcot-Marie-
Tooth disease type 1A.
CHROMOSOMAL
NUMBER ALTERATION

ANEUPLOIDY EUPLOIDY/POLYPLOIDY

 addition or deletion of one  having an exact multiple of the


or more chromosomes haploid number (n) of chromosomes.
from the complete set (e.g. 3n, 4n, 5n…)
CHROMOSOMAL
NUMBER ALTERATION

• ‘Change in number for a certain type of chromosome


or for the whole set of chromosomes ’

• Usually occurs due to non-disjunction during meiosis


I or II which produce gametes with abnormal
number of chromosomes
NON DISJUNCTION

• Non-disjunction in • Non-disjunction in
meiosis I: meiosis II:
homologous chromosome sister chromatid fail to
pair fail to segregate separate during
during anaphase I anaphase II
Example of non disjunction occur during meiosis 1

MEIOSIS I
Non disjunction Normal

MEIOSIS II

Normal Normal Normal Non disjunction


Non disjunction involving autosomes and
sex chromosome

• Abnormalities in the autosome number


• Non disjunction on chromosome 21 (Trisomy:
Down’s Syndrome)

• Abnormalities in the sex chromosome number


• Non disjunction during spermatogenesis
• Non disjunction during oogenesis
Non disjunction involving sex chromosome

a) Non disjunction during

• If non disjunction during meiosis I & II


– sperm will have the abnormal sex chromosome :
XY, XX @ YY

• Abnormal sperm x Normal ovum (X)


– Klinefelter syndrome (XXY)
– Super male syndrome (XYY)
– 3X female (Triple X syndrome, XXX)
B) NON DISJUNCTION DURING
OOGENESIS
• If non disjunction happened
– Some ovum might not carry any
chromosome X & some others might carry
2 chromosome X (XX)

• Abnormal ovum (O) x sperm


– Turner syndrome (XO)
– YO : dead

• Abnormal ovum (XX) x sperm


– Klinefelter syndrome (XXY)
– 3X female (Triple X syndrome)

Euploidy

 Entire set of chromosomes of a biological cell or


organism is duplicated once or several times (2n, 3n,
4n, …..)
 Common in plants than in animals
 Gametes fusion will produce cell @ organism which
have more than 2 set of chromosome
 Cell or organism with 3 or more chromosome set
are polyploidy
POLYPLOIDY

 Organism with multiples of the haploid


number of chromosome ( 3n, 4n, 5n,
………)

 Many plants important for agriculture


are the products of polyploidy.

 For example, oats, cotton, potatoes,


tobacco, and wheat are polyploid.
Polyploidy

Autopolyploidy Allopolyploidy
POLYPLOIDY

 Autopolyploidy :
 Increase in number of chromosomes
within the same species
 The chromosomes set are homologous
with the parent cell
 Allopolyploidy :
 Multiplication of the number of
chromosomes in a hybrid from parents
of different species.
 produces fertile hybrids
AUTOPOLYPLOIDY
 A type of polyploidy species that resulting
from one species doubling its chromosome
number to become tetraploid or more than
two chromosome sets.
 An error during meiosis or mitosis in a germ
(reproductive) cell line results in gametes in
which the chromosomes is not reduced from
the number of chromosomes in the parent cell
Allopolyploidy
 A type of polyploidy species resulting from
different species interbreeding and combining
their chromosomes to become more than two
chromosome sets.
Allopolyploidy
 Origin Hybridisation
- Two different species interbreed and combine their
chromosomes produce sterile organism / hybrid
with extra (abnormal) sets of chromosome.
