BIOL 1107 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Reading Frame, Protein Folding, Dna Ligase
Document Summary
Any heritable change in the genetic material. Doesn"t have an rna version of dna polymerase. Rna isn"t as stable as a molecule. Certain nucleotides are prone to mutation (hotspots) Regions in the genome that tend to mutate more frequently. Become important when we start to evaluate evolutionary relationships b/w organisms. Males tend to have a higher susceptibility to proportion. Men go through more rounds of mutations and in later in life. Males can produce sperm later in life. Proofreading function tends to breakdown with age. Ate of mutation depends on cell type. Mutations in a generation (looking at the entire genome) We have some slight changes that won"t affect the phenotype. Increase genetic variants and change in environments - the one that gives us the best chance will be passed on. Random cells that all daughter cells inherit. Press velvet on dish to get individs onto velvet. See if antibiotic can grow in presence of antibiotic.
