Mutations are permanent changes in genetic material (DNA) that can result in disease. The majority occur spontaneously during DNA replication and repair, but some are induced by mutagenic agents like chemicals, viruses, or radiation. Mutations are classified based on the cell involved (germ vs somatic), their nature (numerical, structural, point, frameshift, trinucleotide repeat), and functional effect (loss of function, gain of function, lethal). Germline mutations can be inherited while somatic mutations cause cancers or birth defects but are not passed down.
This document discusses different types of mutations, how they arise, and their effects. It distinguishes between adaptations to the environment versus heritable changes due to mutations in genetic material. Mutations can be defined by their location (e.g. gene, chromosome), type (e.g. point, frameshift), and effects (e.g. missense, nonsense). They can occur spontaneously or be induced by mutagens and may have varying consequences depending on whether they are in somatic or germ-line cells.
Mutations are alterations in DNA sequences that can be caused by errors during DNA replication or DNA damage. They can occur at different levels, from single nucleotide changes to changes involving entire chromosomes. Mutations are important because they can cause genetic disorders and cancer, and provide the genetic variation that natural selection acts upon to drive evolution. The frequency of mutations is tightly regulated, as too many mutations could be harmful, while some level of variation is necessary for adaptation and survival. Gene expression is also tightly controlled, with most genes only being expressed when needed through transcriptional and translational regulation mechanisms like operons, promoters, operators, and repressors. This ensures efficient use of cellular resources.
Gene mutations occur when the sequence of nitrogen bases that make up a gene changes. There are three types of mutations: substitutions replace one base with another, additions insert an extra base, and deletions remove a base. Mutations can have positive, negative, or neutral effects on an organism's chances of survival. Mutagens like viruses, smoke, radiation, and chemicals cause DNA mutations by damaging the genetic code. Gene therapy aims to correct mutations by replacing the defective gene with a healthy copy to treat genetic diseases.
This document provides information about mutations and sickle cell anemia. It defines different types of mutations including molecular mutations like substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshifts, as well as chromosomal mutations like inversions, duplications, and translocations. It explains that mutations can be somatic or germline and discusses the effects of germline mutations. It then focuses on sickle cell anemia, describing how a single point mutation in the HBB gene causes the disease by altering hemoglobin and changing red blood cells into a sickle shape. Overall, the document covers the basics of mutations and uses sickle cell anemia as a case study to illustrate the effects of mutation at the DNA, protein, and cellular
A gene mutation is an alteration in DNA sequence that can change a single nucleotide or larger gene segments. The main types of mutations are point mutations, frameshift mutations, and repeat expansions. Point mutations include silent, missense, and nonsense mutations. Missense mutations can be conservative or non-conservative. Frameshift mutations alter the reading frame. Repeat expansions increase repeated DNA sequences. Specific diseases caused by gene mutations discussed include cystic fibrosis, cancer, and sickle cell anemia.

This is a brief overview of the Types of Mutation. I have compiled all the salient features of the Mutation and shared in this presentation, hope you guys like it.
The document discusses mutations and their role in evolution. It begins with defining mutations as sudden changes in hereditary materials like DNA and chromosomes. Mutations can occur due to errors in DNA replication or repair and some are caused by mutagens like chemicals and UV radiation. The document then covers different types of mutations like point mutations, insertions, deletions, and chromosomal mutations. It also discusses how mutations contribute to genetic variation and evolution by providing raw materials for natural selection to act upon. The role of mutations in development of antibiotic resistance in pathogens is also mentioned.
1. Gene mutations can affect a single gene by causing changes in a single codon through substitutions, inversions, additions or deletions.
2. Substitution mutations may not have serious effects unless they change an amino acid essential to the protein structure/function. For example, a single nucleotide change in the beta-globin gene causes sickle cell anemia.
3. The genetic code is degenerate, meaning a mutation in the third base may not affect the phenotype if it does not change the amino acid. Frameshift mutations from additions or deletions can have more significant effects.
Response of egfr agents with chemotheraupatic drugs on m crcHari Prakash
Cetuximab, an EGFR inhibitor drug, has shown some effectiveness against metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) when used in combination with chemotherapy, according to clinical trials. Two trials found that cetuximab combined with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI reduced disease progression compared to chemotherapy alone for patients without KRAS mutations. A third trial found that the combination of cetuximab and irinotecan led to higher response rates and longer progression-free survival than cetuximab alone for patients with the rare KRAS G13D mutation. Therefore, the combination of cetuximab with chemotherapy may provide benefit for mCRC patients with certain rare KRAS mutations.
Mutations are changes in genetic material that can be passed from parent cells to daughter cells. There are two main types of mutations:
1. Spontaneous mutations arise from errors in DNA replication and can include base pair substitutions like transitions/transversions and frameshift mutations from insertions/deletions of bases.
2. Induced mutations are caused by external mutagenic agents like chemicals or radiation that alter DNA structure.
Mutations can have varying effects depending on if they result in nonsense/missense amino acid changes or are silent/neutral. Frameshift mutations alter all codons after the mutation. Mutations are an important source of genetic variation and play a role in evolution.
This document summarizes different types of gene mutations including point mutations, substitutions, inversions, additions, and deletions. It provides examples of each type of mutation and how they can affect the coding of amino acids. Specifically, it discusses mutations in the beta-hemoglobin gene that cause inherited blood disorders like sickle cell anemia, in which a single amino acid substitution results in abnormal hemoglobin structure and function.
This document discusses different types of mutations at the molecular level. It defines a mutation as any change to the nucleotide bases in DNA, including additions, deletions, or substitutions. It then describes several types of mutations in more detail, including:
- Missense mutations, which result in a different amino acid being incorporated into the protein.
- Nonsense mutations, which prematurely terminate protein production.
- Frameshift mutations, caused by insertions or deletions of nucleotide bases other than multiples of three, shifting the reading frame.
- Silent mutations, which substitute a different base but still code for the same amino acid, having no effect on the protein.

This document discusses gene mutations. It defines gene mutations as permanent alterations in DNA sequence that differ from what is typically found. Mutations can range in size from a single DNA base pair to a large chromosome segment. The document outlines several types of mutations including point mutations, insertion mutations, deletion mutations, and more. It explores how mutations can affect health and cause genetic disorders by altering protein function. Environmental factors and errors in DNA replication and transcription are presented as common causes of gene mutations.
Mutations are changes in genetic material that can be harmful, beneficial, or neutral. There are two types of mutations: somatic mutations, which occur in body cells and are not passed to offspring, and germline mutations, which occur in sex cells and can be inherited. Germline mutations are more relevant for evolution and are generally what is meant by the term "mutation". Mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication, environmental mutagens like radiation or chemicals, or due to changes in DNA base pairing. They result in changes at the DNA level like substitutions, insertions, deletions, and can have various effects at the protein and phenotypic levels.
Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA that can occur in somatic or gamete cells. Most mutations are neutral, but some can be harmful, like those that cause certain cancers, while others may provide an evolutionary advantage. There are different types of mutations, including chromosome mutations such as deletions, inversions, duplications, and translocations, as well as gene mutations like point mutations, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations, which can change single nucleotides or amino acid sequences.
A gene mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that results from alterations like a substitution, insertion, or deletion of nucleotide bases. Substitution mutations, which replace one base for another, typically have minimal effects, while insertions and deletions cause frameshift mutations that strongly impact protein production. These frameshift mutations can lead to genetic disorders like Huntington's disease. Mutations originate from natural errors or environmental mutagens like radiation and chemicals. They are inherited if present in gametes but only affect the individual if in somatic cells.
This document discusses different types of gene mutations. It begins by explaining that mutations can occur naturally or be induced artificially, and can happen at the chromosome, gene, or molecular level. The main types of gene mutations described are point mutations, which are further divided into missense, silent, and nonsense mutations depending on their effects. Other types discussed include substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations. Specific examples are provided to illustrate each type of mutation and how they can alter the nucleotide and resulting protein sequences.
1. Mutation is a heritable change in genetic material that can occur spontaneously or be induced by mutagens.
2. There are several types of mutations classified by their effect on survival, cause, tissue of origin, direction of change, and trait affected.
3. Common types of mutations include point mutations, frameshift mutations, multisite mutations, induced mutations, and spontaneous mutations.
The document discusses various types of mutations and how they are induced. It describes three main types of mutations: chromosome mutations, genome mutations, and single-gene mutations. Single-gene mutations can be further divided into point mutations, deletions, additions, transitions, and transversions. Mutations can occur spontaneously due to errors in DNA replication or be induced by environmental mutagens like chemicals, radiation, and viruses. Mutations provide genetic variation but can also cause genetic disorders and diseases.
Mutations are changes in genetic material that can result from errors during DNA replication or damage to DNA. There are two main types of mutations: chromosomal mutations and genetic mutations. Chromosomal mutations include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations that involve changes in chromosome structure. Genetic mutations are changes in DNA sequence, such as point mutations involving substitutions, insertions, or deletions of nucleotide bases. Insertion and deletion mutations tend to have the largest effects as they can alter multiple amino acids and proteins, while substitution mutations often have the smallest effects since only a single amino acid may change. Examples of diseases caused by mutations include sickle cell anemia from a substitution and Huntington's disease from an expansion insertion.
DNA MISMATCH REPAIR HAPPENS ONLY DURING A BRIEF WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITYANDMET...Jorge Rico
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) happens during a brief window after DNA replication to identify and repair errors, helping maintain the genome. Researchers observed MMR in yeast cells and found it occurs for 10-15 minutes after DNA replication. Understanding MMR provides insights into preventing defects and cancers by eliminating replication errors in eukaryotes. Methylation of proteins also plays a significant role outside the nucleus, as one enzyme was found to methylate a protein that forms a complex protecting an important muscle protein.
p53 plays an important role in regulating the cell cycle and can function as a tumor suppressor. It was first discovered in 1979 as a 53 kDa protein encoded by the TP53 gene. p53 has several domains that allow it to activate DNA repair when damage is detected, arrest the cell cycle to allow time for repair, or initiate apoptosis if damage is irreparable. Mutations in p53 are common in many cancer types and can be caused by chemical carcinogens and radiation exposure.
DNA repair systems help maintain the integrity of genetic material by correcting damage from mutagens. There are several types of DNA repair mechanisms, including direct damage reversal, mismatch repair, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and recombination repair. Key DNA repair proteins like p53 play an important role in recognizing DNA damage and initiating cell cycle arrest to allow time for repair or inducing apoptosis if damage is irreparable. Double strand breaks are the most difficult to repair and can lead to chromosomal rearrangements if unrepaired.
DNA replication occurs with high accuracy, making only about 1 error per billion base pairs. Errors are corrected by proofreading enzymes. Mistakes that escape correction are called mutations, which can be harmful, neutral, or beneficial by allowing for genetic variation. Mutations include point mutations that change a single base pair and frameshift mutations that delete or insert bases, altering all subsequent codons and usually causing greater effects. Mutations accumulate over time and can lead to cancer, aging, or beneficial species adaptations.
A suppressor mutation counters the effects of an original mutation by restoring the wild-type phenotype. There are two main types of suppressor mutations: intragenic mutations occur within the same gene and restore function through alternate amino acid substitutions, while intergenic mutations occur elsewhere in the genome and restore function through interacting gene products. Suppressor mutations are useful for studying protein-protein interactions and dissecting biological pathways.
Mutations are changes in genetic material that can be caused by errors in DNA replication or exposure to mutagens like radiation or chemicals. There are two main types of mutations: base substitutions, where one nucleotide is replaced by another, and insertions or deletions, where a nucleotide is added or removed. Base substitutions can be silent if they do not change the resulting protein or missense if they do. Insertions or deletions cause frameshift mutations by changing the triplet codes that encode proteins. Chromosomal mutations involve changes in chromosome number, structure, or position of genes. Mutations are not always harmful and can increase genetic diversity.
Paleontology, genetics, and molecular evidence all support evolution through fossils, DNA and protein comparisons. Genetic variation within populations increases the chances of survival and comes from mutation, recombination and hybridization. Natural selection can act on populations in three ways - directional selection favors one phenotype extreme, stabilizing selection favors intermediate phenotypes, and disruptive selection favors both extremes.

A pedigree is a chart used to organize and visually display genetic traits passed through a family. It shows males as squares, females as circles, those with a trait filled in and without empty, marriages as horizontal lines, offspring as vertical lines, and youngest at the bottom going up to oldest at top. A pedigree can be interpreted to analyze how traits are inherited and make predictions about future offspring's traits.
Mutations are changes to DNA that can alter genes and traits. There are two main types of mutations: point mutations, which change a single DNA nucleotide, and frameshift mutations, which add or delete nucleotides, altering the reading frame. Point mutations can be silent, missense, or nonsense. Missense mutations substitute amino acids, sometimes changing the protein. Frameshift mutations disrupt the entire protein. Examples given are sickle cell anemia from a point mutation and cystic fibrosis from a deletion frameshift mutation.
Mutations are changes or alterations in the DNA sequence that can disrupt genes and alter protein production. Mutations can occur during sexual or asexual reproduction and be inherited or non-inherited. Causes of mutation include heredity, carcinogens like chemicals and radiation, and chance mistakes during DNA replication. Major types of mutations include transposons that insert into chromosomes, crossover failures in meiosis, and single gene mutations like substitutions where nucleotides are replaced or deletions where nucleotides are removed. The results of mutations can include genetic variation and hereditary disorders or cancer depending on if they are inherited or non-inherited.
1. Mutation is a permanent change in DNA that affects genetic information. It can occur spontaneously during DNA replication or be caused by mutagens like chemicals, radiation, and transposons.
2. There are different types of mutations including point mutations, insertions/deletions, and frameshift mutations which can change single DNA bases or protein amino acid sequences.
3. Mutagens increase the natural spontaneous mutation rate by damaging DNA through various mechanisms like causing breaks, dimers, or analog incorporation during replication.
Biology unit 6 dna rna protein synthesis protein synthesis notesrozeka01
This document discusses RNA and protein synthesis. It defines RNA, its types including mRNA, rRNA and tRNA. Protein synthesis involves two main steps - transcription of DNA to mRNA in the nucleus, and translation of mRNA to amino acids to form a protein. Codons on mRNA pair with anticodons on tRNA to specify which amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. Examples are given to demonstrate transcription of DNA to mRNA and translation of mRNA to amino acids.
Translation converts mRNA messages into polypeptides through the use of codons, anticodons, transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomes. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid. The ribosome helps form a polypeptide bond between amino acids specified by mRNA codons. Gene expression is regulated at transcription and RNA processing in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Mutations are changes in DNA that may or may not affect phenotype and can occur through replication errors, mutagens like UV rays, or during chromosomal crossover.
Biology unit 6 dna rna protein synthesis mutation notesrozeka01
Mutations are any changes in the sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA. There are several types of mutations including missense, nonsense, silent, point, and frameshift mutations. Point mutations involve changing a single base through substitution, insertion, or deletion. Frameshift mutations are caused by insertions or deletions and shift the reading frame, altering the entire amino acid sequence.
This document explains how DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA and then translated into proteins. It begins by establishing that DNA contains the genetic instructions, which are passed to RNA and then proteins. It then describes transcription, where DNA is copied into messenger RNA in the nucleus. The document explains how messenger RNA carries the genetic code to the cytoplasm to be translated by ribosomes into proteins, using transfer RNA to match mRNA codons to amino acids. In summary, it outlines the central dogma of molecular biology - that DNA is transcribed into RNA and then translated into functional proteins.
Mutations are permanent changes in genetic material that can be caused spontaneously during DNA replication or induced by mutagens like chemicals or radiation. There are several types of mutations, including point mutations that substitute nucleotide bases and frameshift mutations caused by insertions or deletions of bases that alter the reading frame. Mutations in protein-coding genes usually result in changes to the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein and often have harmful effects.
This document discusses mutations and various genetic blood disorders including sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and anemia. It begins by defining mutation as a change in genetic material that can be caused by errors in DNA replication or repair. It then describes different types of mutations like substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshifts. The document outlines the molecular basis and effects of mutations like loss or gain of function. Sickle cell anemia is presented as a case study where a single point mutation causes the disease. Thalassemia and the differences between alpha and beta thalassemia are also summarized. The signs, symptoms, and treatments of various types of anemia conclude the document.
Mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. Mutagens such as chemicals, radiation, and viruses can induce mutations by damaging DNA. There are several types of mutations including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations. DNA repair systems help maintain the integrity of DNA and correct mutations by recognizing and removing damaged DNA and replacing it. Defects in DNA repair genes can lead to genetic disorders associated with cancer predisposition or accelerated aging.
DNA contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all living organisms. It is made up of nucleotides with a phosphate group, sugar, and one of four nitrogenous bases. DNA replicates through the process of DNA replication in which the double helix unwinds and enzymes add complementary bases to each strand. During protein production, information from DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then translated by ribosomes to produce proteins made of amino acid chains. Mutations can occur through changes in single base pairs or the structure of chromosomes and can be caused by mutagens like radiation, chemicals, or heat.
Mutations occur naturally or through mutagens and create genetic variation; deleterious mutations are removed by natural selection while beneficial mutations accumulate, resulting in evolution. A gene is a segment of DNA defined by its base sequence; any change by addition, deletion, or substitution of bases disrupts the gene's function. Frameshift mutations from inserting or removing bases change a gene's reading frame, altering its translation entirely. Substitution mutations substitute one base for another within a gene.
Genetic mutations can occur through changes in DNA base sequences or large chromosomal alterations. There are two main types of mutations - chromosomal mutations, which involve changes in large chromosome structures like translocations or deletions, and gene mutations, such as point mutations that change single DNA bases. Point mutations can be further divided into nonsense, missense, silent, and frameshift subtypes depending on their effects on protein sequences. Frameshift mutations caused by insertion or deletion of bases can alter reading frames and change all subsequent amino acids. Suppressor mutations in tRNA molecules allow decoding of altered codons to suppress effects of mutations. Mutations provide a mechanism for genetic change and often result in beneficial new genes and functions that enable organism adaptation
This document summarizes molecular mechanisms of mutation and DNA damage repair in cells. It discusses how mutagens can induce point mutations by substituting or damaging DNA bases, causing errors during DNA replication. It also describes genetic diseases linked to expansions of trinucleotide repeats, such as Fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease. The document outlines several DNA repair pathways in cells and how defects in these pathways can lead to increased mutation rates and cancer-proneness.
DNA Markers Techniques for Plant Varietal Identification Senthil Natesan
This document discusses DNA marker techniques for plant varietal identification. It provides background information on the importance of identifying crop varieties at different stages of seed production. While morphological traits can identify varieties, they are influenced by the environment and require a full growing season. The document then discusses various molecular marker techniques like RFLP, PCR, AFLP, SSR, and ISSR that can help with rapid and reliable varietal identification. It also covers the relative importance of markers, the skills and costs required for molecular marker analysis, and considerations for selecting the appropriate marker type.
Mutations are any changes in the DNA sequence of an organism. They can be caused spontaneously during DNA replication or repair, or can be induced by mutagens like chemicals, radiation, or viruses. Mutations are classified as point mutations, which change a single DNA base, or frameshift mutations, which insert or delete DNA bases. Cells have DNA repair mechanisms to correct mutations, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and mismatch repair. Unrepaired mutations can be harmful, beneficial, or have no effect on the organism.
This document discusses the molecular mechanisms of spontaneous and induced mutations. It begins with an introduction and overview of types of mutations. It then describes spontaneous mutations that can occur due to DNA replication errors, spontaneous DNA lesions like depurination and deamination, and transposition. It also explains induced mutations caused by physical mutagens like radiation and heat, and chemical mutagens such as base analogs, alkylating agents, and intercalating agents. The document concludes with definitions of mutation rate and frequency.
Alterations in the DNA code, such as changing a letter, deleting a letter, inserting a letter or moving sections aroun proteins with abnormal functions.
If these abnormal functions cause the cell to grow, divide, ignore regulatory signals or assume new functions, cancers can develop
Fortunately, normal cells are good at repairing mistakes should they occur and have multiple systems for ensuring that the DNA co transmitted to its two daughter cells when it divides. Normal cells even have suicide programs if the mistakes are beyond repair, a p death, known as apoptosis. [Source: https://www.loxooncology.com/genomically-defined-cancers/genomic-alterations]
The document discusses different types of mutations including point mutations, chromosomal mutations, gene mutations, and frameshift mutations. It describes how mutations can arise spontaneously during DNA replication or be induced by mutagens like chemicals or radiation. Mutations are changes in DNA base pairs that can be passed down to offspring as heritable changes (germline mutations) or occur in non-reproductive somatic cells (somatic mutations). Common types of point mutations include transitions, transversions, missense mutations, and nonsense mutations.
Mutations are changes in genetic information that can be inherited. There are two main types: gene mutations which affect a single gene, and chromosomal mutations which involve changes to whole chromosomes. Gene mutations include point mutations like substitutions, insertions, and deletions. Chromosomal mutations involve changes in chromosome number or structure like deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. The effects of mutations vary - some have no effect, some are harmful by disrupting gene function, and some can be beneficial by producing variation that helps organisms adapt to changing environments.
MUTATION OF DNA IN AN ORGANISM DELETION INSERTIONMaryJoyBAtendido
This document discusses different types of genetic mutations, including point mutations like substitutions, insertions, and deletions, as well as frameshift and chromosomal mutations. It provides examples of how different mutations could change a DNA sequence and potentially the resulting protein. Mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication or exposure to mutagens, and they may have no effect, be harmful, or provide benefits to the organism depending on where they occur in the genetic code.
Mutations are changes in the genetic sequence that can have differing consequences. There are two types of mutations: gene mutations that affect a single gene, and chromosomal mutations that involve changes to whole chromosomes. Mutations can be caused by errors in DNA replication, recombination, chemical or radiation damage to DNA, or defects in DNA repair. Gene mutations can lead to genetic disorders by changing a gene's instructions for making a protein and causing the protein to malfunction or be missing entirely. Most mutations are neutral, but some that dramatically alter protein structure or function can be harmful. Mutations are a source of genetic variability in a species.
Mutation is a change in DNA base sequence that can alter protein function. Spontaneous mutation rates vary from 10-6 to 10-9 per gene. There are two main types of mutations: substitutions of single bases and insertions/deletions of multiple bases. Substitutions can be silent, missense, or nonsense. Insertions and deletions cause frameshift mutations. Mutagens like chemicals, radiation, and viruses increase mutation rates. Mutants are detected by direct selection on media that allows growth of mutants but not parents, or by enrichment with penicillin or replicate plating.
Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence that can be caused by errors during DNA replication, environmental factors like radiation and chemicals, or spontaneous changes. Mutations in germ cells can cause inherited diseases while those in somatic cells can lead to cancer. There are several types of mutations, including base substitutions, deletions, insertions, and frameshift mutations. Mutations can have different effects, such as being lethal, silent, beneficial, or carcinogenic by altering regulatory mechanisms and causing uncontrolled cell division.
This document discusses frameshift mutations. It begins by defining frameshift mutations as insertions or deletions in DNA that are not in multiples of three nucleotides, causing a shift in the reading frame. It then describes the mechanisms of deletion and insertion mutations and their effects, including producing non-functional proteins. Examples are given of sense, missense, and nonsense codons produced by frameshifts. Applications in molecular therapy and targeting cancer proteins are mentioned. The conclusion summarizes that frameshifts can occur via insertion or deletion, may lead to changes in polypeptide length and composition, and have been associated with various diseases.

1) Mutations are changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA that can be caused by mutagens like radiation, chemicals, or viruses. There are two main types of mutations - gene mutations and chromosome mutations.
2) Gene mutations include point mutations, which substitute a single nucleotide, and frameshift mutations, which insert or delete nucleotides and alter the reading frame. Point mutations can be silent, missense, or nonsense.
3) Chromosome mutations involve changes in chromosome structure like deletions, inversions, duplications, translocations, or nondisjunction events that change chromosome number. These mutations can delete or rearrange chromosome segments.
Mutations are changes in an organism's DNA sequence. Most mutations have no effect, but some can be harmful or beneficial. There are several types of mutations, including substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshifts. Substitutions exchange one nucleotide for another. Insertions and deletions add or remove nucleotides, potentially shifting the reading frame and changing the resulting protein. Frameshift mutations are especially likely to be harmful.
This document discusses various types of mutations including their causes and effects. It begins by defining mutation as a sudden, random change in genetic material that causes cells to differ from normal cells. Mutations can be caused by errors during DNA replication or exposure to mutagens. There are several types of mutations including point mutations, which involve a single base pair change, and frameshift mutations, which alter the reading frame. Mutations can be classified based on whether they occur in somatic or germ cells, their location in genes or chromosomes, and their effects. Overall, mutations provide the raw material for evolution by generating genetic variation.
This document summarizes molecular mechanisms of mutation and DNA damage repair in cells. It discusses how mutagens can induce point mutations by substituting or damaging DNA bases, causing errors during DNA replication. It also describes genetic diseases like fragile X syndrome that result from expansions of trinucleotide repeats. The document outlines several DNA repair pathways in cells and how defects in these pathways can lead to increased mutation rates and cancer-prone genetic disorders.

It provides examples of different mutations that cause conditions like sickle cell anemia, beta-thalassemia, Huntington's disease, and retinoblastoma. The key points are that mutations can be random changes to DNA that provide raw material for evolution, and they can occur in germ cells or somatic cells with different effects on inheritance and disease.
A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a protein. Chromosomes are composed of sequences of genes. Mutations are changes in DNA that result in phenotypic changes. Mutations can be spontaneous or induced by mutagens like radiation or chemicals. There are different types of mutations, including gene mutations like transitions, transversions, and frameshifts, as well as chromosome mutations like deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations. Mutation breeding is a plant breeding technique that uses induced mutations to generate genetic variation for crop improvement.
Mutations are changes in DNA sequences that can occur in genes, chromosomes, or the genome. There are several types of mutations including substitutions, insertions, deletions, and frameshifts. Mutations can be caused by errors during DNA replication or by exposure to mutagens like radiation. While some mutations are harmful and cause genetic disorders, others can be beneficial and lead to evolution. Researchers have studied mutations that occurred early in human development by analyzing DNA sequences from adult tissues to gain insights into embryology.
This document discusses various types of mutations including somatic and germline mutations. It describes different categories of mutations such as base substitutions, insertions, deletions, missense, nonsense, silent and frameshift mutations. The document also discusses different causes of mutations including chemical mutagens like base analogs and alkylating agents, physical mutagens like radiation, and endogenous mutagens like reactive oxygen species. It provides examples of specific mutagens and the types of mutations they cause.
Sequence polymorphisms refer to variations in DNA sequences between individuals. The main types are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions/deletions (indels), and structural variations. Polymorphisms arise from mutations during DNA replication and can affect personal health traits and disease susceptibility. They are identified by comparing sequences from different individuals and cataloged in databases like dbSNP. Variant call format (VCF) files are the standard format to store polymorphism data.
A drug is defined as any chemical agent which
affects protoplasm and is intended for use in
the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of
disease. The word ‘drug’ is derived from
French word ‘drogue’ which means ‘a dry
herb’The Science which include whole of the
knowledge about drugs is called
“Pharmacology” the Greek word
‘pharmacon’ meaning ‘drug’ and logos
meaning ‘study’ or discourse
And a drug is always related to addiction and
mind and drug is differentiated into
psychotropic, therapeutic and competitive
drugs
supernatural creatures tends to have powerful supernatural power they are considered to be paranormal and have power that even science can't explain their existence is always contravercial
Psychotropic drugs are the drugs which affect the psychic behavior of an individual and they include all form of drugs which are dangerous in high dose and can be leathal
Social engineering is a form of hacking that exploits human trust and helpfulness. It is done through impersonation, phone calls, email, or in-person interactions to obtain sensitive information. Anyone can be a target if the social engineer can build rapport and trust. Common techniques include pretending to need technical help, claiming to be from the same organization, or creating a sense of urgency or fear in the target. Education and strict security policies are needed to combat social engineering threats.
biological weapons, an weapons which can kill many and that also by means of biology this may refer as silent killer as being describe in many science fiction movies like resident evil etc
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that produces RNA in cells. It was discovered in 1960 and is essential for all organisms. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase synthesizes different RNA types, while eukaryotic RNA polymerase is a multi-subunit enzyme. RNA polymerase I synthesizes rRNA for ribosomes, polymerase II synthesizes pre-mRNA and most snRNA/miRNA, and polymerase III synthesizes tRNA and other small RNAs. The transcription process involves initiation, elongation, and termination stages.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

4. POINT
MUTATIONS
CHROMOSOMAL
MUTATIONS
Change in the structure
of gene is called
point or gene
mutation which
occurs due to some
error in replication
of DNA thus’

Change in structure or
number of
chromosomes called

mutations
5. A mutation to genetic material is usually not
beneficial. Mutagens are things that cause
mutations, they include:
1. High Temperatures
2. Toxic Chemicals (pesticides, etc)
3. Radiation (nuclear and solar)
Many common place items are capable of
causing mutations: microwave, fruit from the
store, radar, cellular phones….
6. Some people may have
mutations in their skin cells
or hair. Such mutations are
termed Somatic. Germ
mutations occur only in the
sex cells. These mutations
are more threatening
because they can be passed
to offspring (forever).
9. During meiosis
tetrads may not
segregate or in
meiosis II, sister
chromatids may stick
together.
No disjunction.
The above karyotype is of a person who has
nondisjunction of the 21st shromosome or Down
syndrome. (note the extra chromosome)
10. Point mutation - when a base is
replaced with a different base.
CGG CCC AAT to CGG CGC AAT
Guanine for Cytosine
Insertion - when a base is added
CGG CCC AAT to CGG CGC CAA T
Guanine is added
Deletion - the loss of a base
CGG CCC AAT to CGG CCA A T
loss of Cytosine
11. A frame shift mutation results from a
base deletion or insertion. Each of
these changes the triplets that follow
the mutation.
CGG CCC AAT to CGG CGC CAA T
Frame shift mutations have greater
effects than a point mutation because
they involve more triplets (recall
how important triplets are to protein
synthesis)
12. The Frame shift
changes the mRNA
produced.
mRNA from DNA
as expected……..
GGG CCC TTT AAA
CCC GGG AAA UUU
Mutated DNA GGC GCC CTT TAA A
CCG CGG GAAAUU U
All the triplets are changed, this in turn
changes the amino acids of the protein!
13. Protein shape determines how a protein
will function. A change in one amino acid
may change the shape enough to distort
the protein (as in sickle cell disease).
Thus, change in one base could
potentially distort a whole protein. It is
more likely that a frame shift mutation
will change several triplets and distort a
protein’s structure.
