MutationMutation1. Mutation = Change2. Biologists use the term “mutation” when talking
about any change in the genetic material. Not all result in a change in phenotype.
3. There are two major types of mutations:4. Macromutations - Also called macrolesions and
chromosomal aberations. Involve changes in large amounts of DNA.
5. Micromutations - Commonly called point mutations and microlesions.
MacromutationsMacromutations1. Four major types of Macromutations are
recognized:1 Deletions - Loss of chromosome sections2 Duplications - Duplication of chromosome
sections3 Inversions - Flipping of parts of chromosomes4 Translocations - Movement of one part of a
chromosome to another part

Micro or Point MutationsMicro or Point Mutations1. Two major types of Macromutations are recognized:
1 Frame Shift - Loss or addition of one or two nucleotides
2 Substitutions - Replacement of one nucleotide by another one. There are a number of different types:
– Transition - Substitution of one purine for another purine, or one pyrimidine for another pyrimidine.
– Transversion - Replacement of a purine with a pyrimidine or vice versa.

Frame shift mutations tend to have a dramatic effect on proteins as all codons down stream from the mutation are changed and thus code for different amino acids. As a result of the frame shift, the length of the polypeptide may also be changed as a stop codon will probably come at a different spot than the original stop codon.

Transitions Vs TransversionsTransitions Vs Transversions
1. Cells have many different mechanisms for preventing mutations
2. These mechanisms make mutations very uncommon3. Even when point mutations occur in the DNA, there
may be no change in the protein coded for4. Because of the way these mechanisms work,
transversions are less likely than transitions5. Tranversions tend to cause greater change in proteins
than transitions
