HISC45H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Missense Mutation, Arginine, Muts-1
Document Summary
Ok we are now ready to enter the last third of the course. This part is going to be more molecular than any section so far and is quite different than what we have done so far. Our last topic was chromosomal mutation, now we will consider dna damage and changes, Dna repair mechanisms, gene mutations, and their sources. This is found in the canadian edition chapter 8 (section 8. 1) and a small part of chapter 7 can edition (section 7. 6 the effect of gene mutation on gene expression and gene function"). Mutation is a change in the dna"s sequence that can be passed from one cell to its daughter cells. Gene mutation is a mutation that is due to a change in the dna sequence of a small segment of. Dna (typically 1- 1000 nucleotides), that affects the dna sequence of, at most, one gene. Let"s start to look at mutations within one gene.
