An example of a disease caused by point mutations are Sickle cell anemia ]]> 2021-11-04 17:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868132637 Frameshift Mutation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868133276 A Frameshift Mutation is when a gene mutates due to deletion or insertion in the DNA sequence and changes the way the sequence is read.

An example of a condition caused by Frameshift Mutations is Cystic Fibrosis ]]> 2021-11-04 17:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868133276 Silent Mutation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868133959 Silent Mutations are mutations that alter a codon's nucleotides but do not cause observable problems. 

An example of a Silent Mutation is codon AAA altering to become AAG.]]> 2021-11-04 17:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868133959 Missense Mutation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868134489 Missense Mutation is a when there is a mistake in the DNA which then results in an incorrect amino acid.

An example of a Missense mutation is TGT (Cysteine) mutating into AGT (Serine)]]> 2021-11-04 17:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868134489 Nonsense Mutation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868135084 A Nonsense Mutation is a mutation that causes a DNA sequence to be shorter than it is supposed to be, resulting in an unfinished product.

An example of a Nonsense Mutation is GAA mutating to TAA and becoming a stop codon.]]> 2021-11-04 17:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868135084 Deletion Mutation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868135548 A Deletion Mutation is a mutation in which genetic material is lost, this can be a single nucleotide or the loss of genes. These can result in many genetic disorders.

An example of a disease caused by deletion mutations is cancer

An Example of a disease caused by Inversion Mutations is hemophilia A]]> 2021-11-04 17:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868136630 Reciprocal Translocation ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868137560 Reciprocal Translocation is the arrangement of genetic material through two chromosomes, portions of both chromosomes switch resulting in no loss of genetic material.

An example of Reciprocal Translocation is the swapping of genetic material from chromosome 1 and 13]]> 2021-11-04 17:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868137560 Physical Mutagens and Chemical Mutagens ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868138058 A mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes genetic material forever.

Physical mutagens are: Electromagnetic radiation e.g
gamma rays, x-rays, uv light.

Chemical mutagens can be elements like: nickel, chromium nitrate, etc.]]> 2021-11-04 17:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868138058 MUTATIONS ryanmurphy14 https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868524509 2021-11-04 21:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmurphy14/vj18252n901m3nw7/wish/1868524509
