Document Summary

Change in nucleotide sequence of a cell"s dna. Change in large regions of a chromosome or in a single nucleotide pair. Can lead to cancer, birth defects, or other disorders. Chromosomal mutation: occurs with long pieces of dna, usually 100"s of base pairs. Deletion: segment of a chromosome is removed. Duplication: segment of a chromosome is copied and inserted into a homologous chromosome. Inversion: segment of a chromosome is removed and reinserted opposite to its original position. Translocation (reciprocal): segments of non-homologous chromosomes change position with each other. Deletion and duplication can be more harmful. Inversion: produce less harmful effects than the other 2 (all genes still have the same number) Deletions in chromosome 5 cases cri du chat- infant born has severe developmental problems, small head, and cries like a cat. Translocation: chronic myelogenous leukemia bone marrow starts to make too many white blood cells. Caused by the exchange of a large portion of chromosome 22 with.
