Do Now1. Turn in Alien Invasion (staple sheets together)2. Get out Protein Synthesis HW3. Explain the difference between transcription and

translation. (Hint: Think about what is made)4. Explain difference between codon and anticodon.5. What is the protein for the DNA strand below?

MutationsMutations

What is a mutation?

Change in the DNA nitrogen base

sequence of a gene

How do Mutations Occur?

Errors in DNA Replication

Replication

How do Mutations Occur?

Damaged DNA caused by

agents such as sunlight, smoke,

radiation

How do we get mutations????

Two ways to classify mutations

Acquired mutation

Get a mutation at some point in life.

Hint: Think of it like getting sick, but you

can’t get rid of it.

Two ways to classify mutations

Inherited mutation

Get a mutation from your

parents

Let’s practice protein synthesis with normal DNA

DNA: TAC AAC GTC ACC ATT

mRNA: AUG UUG CAG UGG UAA

Amino acid: Met Leu Gln Trp STOP

Category of Mutation: Point/Substitution

Change in one base of the DNA sequence which can cause a change in amino acid.

Original: The fat cat ate the wee rat

Point mutation: The fat hat ate the wee rat

Type of Mutations: Point/SubstitutionChange in one base of the DNA sequence

which causes a change in amino acid.

Mutated Example of a point/substitution mutation

DNA: TAC AAG GTC ACC ATT

mRNA: AUG UUC CAG UGG UAA

Amino acid: Met Phe Gln Trp STOP

Example of Point Mutation: Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle Cell Anemia: Point Mutation

Sickle Cell Anemia Story(Beginning to 3:00)

Category of Mutation: Frameshift Addition or deletion of a DNA base resulting

in a different sequence of DNA.

Original: The fat cat ate the wee rat

Frameshift mutation: The fat ata tet hew eer at

Example of Frameshift Mutation: Tay Sachs

Tay Sachs Symptoms: Video

Tay Sachs Disease: Frameshift Mutation

Type of Mutations: AdditionAddition of one or more bases into a DNA

sequence

Mutated Example of Insertion

DNA: TAC AAC CGT CAC CAT T

mRNA: AUG UUG GCA GUG GUA A

Amino acid: Met Leu Gly Val Val

Type of Mutations: DeletionThe removal of one or more bases in DNA

Mutated Example of Deletion

DNA: TAC AAC GCA CCA TT

mRNA: AUG UUG CGU GGU AA

Amino acid: Met Leu Arg Gly

How does an organism grow?

Through the process of the cell cycle

What are the Limits to Cell Size?1. The efficiency of Cell Transport; substances

need to reach the central part of the cell; if have a great distance to travel, they won’t get there.

Cell

Organelle = Oxygen =

What are the limits to Cell Size?2. DNA overload; DNA controls everything that occurs in a cell; cell gets too big, its too hard to control everything

I can’t keep up!!!!

Cell Division occurs when these two limits have been reached.

Problems with Cell Division: Cancer

What is Cancer?

-Diseased Mitosis-Disease caused by the uncontrolled

division of abnormal cells

What are abnormal cells?Cells that do not die when they should and

form new cells when the body does not need them.

WHY?Abnormal cells are caused by:•Genetics•Lifestyle-tobacco, diet, etc•Environmental: Radiation/Chemicals

WHY?These “things” cause a change or mutation in

the cells DNA; making it abnormal

*How?The cancer cells

divide continuously;

which creates a tumor (mass of

cells)

TreatmentSurgery is done to remove tumors or as

much of the cancerous tissue as possible.

Treatment

Chemotherapy is a type of cancer

treatment that uses of drugs to

eliminate cancer cells. It works by targeting rapidly

multiplying cancer cells.

TreatmentRadiation therapy uses certain types of energy

to shrink tumors or eliminate cancer cells. It works by damaging a cancer cell's DNA,

making it unable to multiply.
